ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Myasthenia is an autoimmune disorder, characterised by a reduction of the postsynaptic receptors of acetylcholine (ACh) and affectation of the skeletal muscle as main clinical signs. The present study describes a purely ocular form of child myasthenia, and the treatment and monitoring during 12 months of evolution of a 4 years old patient that came to our office with bilateral paralytic ptosis and an apparent incomplete paralysis of III cranial nerve.
