We report a series of three patients who developed checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis with orbital myositis and/or myasthenia gravis overlap syndrome, with varying degrees of severity. In all cases, checkpoint inhibitor therapy was immediately discontinued upon diagnosis and corticosteroids were initiated. While two patients achieved substantial recovery, one patient passed away on hospital day three. These cases underscore the critical need for prompt recognition of adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
我们报告了一系列3例患者,他们发生了与检查点抑制剂相关的心肌炎,并伴有眼眶肌炎和/或重症肌无力重叠综合征,严重程度各不相同。在所有病例中,诊断后立即停用检查点抑制剂治疗,并开始使用皮质类固醇。虽然2例患者实现了显著康复,但1例患者在住院第3天死亡。这些病例强调了及时识别与免疫检查点抑制剂相关不良事件的迫切需要。
