Overlapping clinical features cause diagnostic confusion in such a situation. We herein report a patient with Graves' orbitopathy and myasthenia gravis (GO-MG) with normal left eyelid height, but in whom upper eyelid retraction was shown after edrophonium chloride administration. Upper eyelid retraction in GO-MG is occasionally masked by a myasthenia effect. The upper eyelid height must be carefully monitored in patients with Graves' orbitopathy to detect the presence of concomitant myasthenia gravis.Keywords: Graves' orbitopathy, myasthenia gravis, eyelid retraction, edrophonium chlorideKang HTakahashi YIwaki MAsamura SKakizaki HDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2012, Iss default, Pp 807-810 (2012) |
