  • Title: Multiple sclerosis, euthyroid restrictive Grave's ophthalmopathy, and myasthenia gravis. A case report.
    Author: Bixenman WW, Buchsbaum HW.
    Journal: Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 1988; 226(2):168-71. PubMed ID: 3360348.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old physician with a 13-year history of multiple sclerosis presented with the subacute onset of an atypical, restrictive, euthyroid Grave's ophthalmopathy. The hypotropia and monocular upgaze restriction responded to a course of systemic and local steroids. Three months later, the patient developed ocular and systemic features of myasthenia gravis. This is the second reported case of coincident multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and thyroid-related disease complex.
