I just had two cases of “3M overlap syndrome” - myocarditis, myositis, and myasthenia gravis in my emergency department last month. Both melanoma patients that received immunotherapy 6wks before presentation. For both of them, diplopia/bilateral upper lid ptosis was the first presenting symptom.

Really great video! Thank you for sharing and helping spread the awareness of these bizarre presentations

That’s some more personalized medicine
