Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Associated With Thymic Amyloidosis.

Kristin O Chapman1, Debra M Beneck, Marc J Dinkin.   

Abstract

A 45-year-old woman with ptosis and diplopia was found to have myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with amyloidosis of the thymus gland. Systemic MG is frequently associated with thymomas or thymic hyperplasia but has only once previously been reported in association with amyloidosis of the thymus. This case demonstrates that isolated ocular MG rarely may also be associated with amyloidosis of the thymus.
