A boy aged five and a girl aged one year suffering from myasthenia gravis are described. Both cases had respiratory complications and were treated erroneously until their ptosis was noticed and the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis confirmed. The etiology, types, symptomatology, and treatment of the diseases are described. Attention of the pediatric ophthalmologists is called to the fact that they should consider myasthenia gravis in the differential diagnosis of ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia.
本文描述了一名五岁男孩和一名一岁女孩患重症肌无力的病例。两例均有呼吸并发症，且在睑下垂被发现并确诊为重症肌无力之前均接受了错误治疗。文中还描述了该病的病因、类型、症状及治疗方法。提醒小儿眼科医生注意，在睑下垂和眼球外肌麻痹的鉴别诊断中应考虑到重症肌无力。
