N2 - A boy aged 5 and a girl aged 1 yr 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 disease are described. Attention of pediatric ophthalmologists is called to the fact that they should consider myasthenia gravis in the differential diagnosis of ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia.
