Drug Therapy in Myasthenia Gravis and Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes | While surgical removal of the thymus gland or a thymoma is often part of the therapy of myasthenia gravis (MG), the mainstay of management for ocular MG remains drug therapy. While not every patient with MG needs medical therapy, most patients benefit from it, and it must be carefully tailored to th... | Myasthenia Gravis; Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes; Neuromuscular Junction; Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes; Pharmacologic Suppression | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Repeatability and Validity of the Ice Test in the Evaluation of Ptosis in Myasthenia Gravis (.pdf) | The ice test has been reported to show a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100% in the diagnosis of ocular myasthenia gravis (MG). However, there is lack of consensus on the criteria of positive response and little is known of the repeatability of the ice test in myasthenic ptosis and controls... | Myasthenia Gravis, Ice Test | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Slow eye movement fatigability in Myasthenia Gravis | Myasthenia gravis (MG) is caused by abnormal transmission of neuromuscular junction, and is characterized by fatigability with fluctuating symptoms. To evaluate the fatigability of slow eye movements of MG, we analyzed smooth pursuit eye movements as well as saccadic velocities in the newly diagnose... | Myasthenia; Neuro-Ophth & Systyemic Disease (eg.

The Impact of Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody Titers in Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody-Positive Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Generalization, Presence of Thyroid Autoimmune Antibodies, and Thymoma | The importance of acetylcholine receptor(AChR) antibody titers in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is scarcely studied. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the association between AChR antibody titers and conversion to generalized myasthenia gravis(GMG), presence of thyroid autoimmune antibodies, and presen... | Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease ( eg.

Quite An Odd Pairing: Miller-Fisher Syndrome and Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases | The concurrence of Miller-Fisher syndrome and autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) (Hashimoto's thyroiditis and graves' disease) is scarce with only few reported cases in literature. Immune system dysfunction may underlie this association, and linked by a common immunogenetic susceptibility.

Enhanced Ptosis in Myasthenia Gravis | This is a 20-yo-woman who presented with generalized weakness, ptosis and ophthalmoplegia. She had severe ptosis OU at baseline, but when one eyelid was manually elevated, there was marked enhanced ptosis of the opposite eyelid. This was in accordance with Hering's law of equal innervation of the le... | Myasthenia Gravis | Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: Dan Gold Neuro-Ophthalmology Collection: https://novel.utah.edu/Gold/ |
