Year: 2024

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Ocular dysfunction accounts for nearly 70% of the initial manifestations of myasthenia gravis. Since the prevalence rate of myasthenia gravis is two to 10 cases per 100,000 population, it is important for clinicians to be cognizant of this disorder and its varied ocular presentations. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of ocular myasthenia gravis are reviewed.
