Update in ocular myasthenia gravis / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease caused by the failure of neuromuscular transmission,which is mediated by autoantibodies against acetylcholine receptors.Ocular myasthenia is a form of myasthenia gravis in which weakened eye muscles cause double vision or drooping eyelids.It accounts for approximately 80％ of juvenile myasthenia gravis.This review focuses on the extraocular muscle susceptibility to myasthenia gravis and the management of ocular myasthenia gravis.
