Can ophthalmoplegia happen with muscular dystrophy?
Some muscular dystrophies affect the muscles that control eye movement, leading to partial or complete ophthalmoplegia. For example: Myotonic dystrophy may cause weakness in the eye muscles, leading to limited eye movement over time. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) commonly affects the muscles of the eyes and throat, causing drooping eyelids (ptosis) and ophthalmoplegia. Mitochondrial muscle disorders, which can resemble muscular dystrophy, involve eye muscles and are a frequent cause of ophthalmoplegia. But Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy usually spare the eye muscles, so ophthalmoplegia is rare in these conditions. If eye movement problems are present, a neurologist or ophthalmologist may recommend further tests to identify the exact type of muscular disorder and guide management.

Can ophthalmoplegia happen with myasthenia gravis?
Yes, ophthalmoplegia can occur in myasthenia gravis. It is characterized by weakness and paralysis of the muscles responsible for eye movement, leading to symptoms such as double vision, drooping eyelids, and difficulty moving the eyes. Treatment may involve medications to improve muscle strength and function.
