The Spurious Palsy—Fluctuation of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms Characterized by Orthoptics
This prospective cohort study provides insight into the dynamics of OMG, which is crucial for the optimization of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our orthoptic measurements demonstrated the worsening of OMG symptoms after daily activity and a better response of ptosis to pyridostigmine than diplopia. The complexity of this fluctuating disease leads to strong interindividual variability, which requires an individual approach to improve the quality of life of patients with MG.
