Juvenile myasthenia gravis and amblyopia.
In two girls, 26 and 36 months old, strabismus and blepharoptosis secondary to myasthenia gravis led to amblyopia. The initial symptoms in both patients were blepharoptosis and variable exotropia. Although the amblyopia was successfully treated in one patient, it persisted in the second despite therapy.
