In the studies material of 119 children with myasthenia epileptic seizures occurred in 8 cases (7%). They always preceded the appearance of myasthenic symptoms. The seizures were primarily generalized. The EEG tracings varied greatly in morphology and intensity. The authors discuss the relationship
The relationship between myasthenia gravis (MG) and epilepsy has been rarely reported. As consequence, there are no specific guidelines for the management of these conditions when they mutually occur. We reported on three patients in whom epilepsy and MG are coexisting, but in different clinical
We studied 32 children with myasthenia gravis over a period of 12 years. The mean age at onset was 7.7 years. Presentation was ocular in 63% of patients. Another major disease in addition to myasthenia occurred in 44% of patients; a seizure disorder was the most commonly associated disease. Serum
A 44-yr-old woman presented with major depression. She was scheduled to receive electroconvulsive therapy under anesthetic care because of drug-induced leukopenia. Her significant past medical history was myasthenia gravis. She had been treated with thymectomy and pyridostigmine. She showed no
A 22-year-old woman had been suffering from blepharoptosis and fatigabilities of both shoulders for a year. She had been administered phenytoin since age 4 to prevent febrile convulsion. On admission, she had bilateral blepharoptosis with left one being more severely affected. Her pupils and eye
Although rare, the co-occurrence of myasthenia gravis and preeclampsia during pregnancy is responsible for considerable maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Both careful selection of medications and a multidisciplinary approach are required for treating such cases. This study presents a case
We report the case of a 36-year-old Chinese man with a history of complex partial seizure of temporal lobe origin since the age of 12 years, superimposed by myasthenia gravis since the age of 27 years and psoriasis vulgaris since the age of 29 years. With an eight-year follow-up, the above three
Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication that reduces synaptic transmission by decreasing presynaptic voltage-gated Ca2+ and Na+ channels. It is approved to treat focal seizures but also used to treat post-herpetic and neuropathic pain. Although uncommon, there have been three reported cases of
We described a 12-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with myasthenia gravis (MG). She had absence seizures from 6 years old. She admitted to our hospital at 12 years of age because of absence seizures and dyspnea. The diagnosis of SLE was made on the basis of

A 28-year-old woman developed complex partial seizures at the age of 17 years and was treated with phenytoin sodium. Five years later she developed myasthenia gravis, and phenytoin was replaced by valproic acid and phenobarbital. She required plasmapheresis (PP). During one course of PP, total and
Objective. To present a case of maternal myasthenia gravis in pregnancy and give a systematic review of the literature. Case. We report the case of a 38-year-old parturient with a life-threatening complication of immune-mediated myasthenia gravis shortly after an elective cesarean section on
This case describes an apparently healthy 21-year-old parturient who presented at term with a prolapsed cord requiring immediate cesarean section. She experienced postoperative seizures. After a presumptive diagnosis of eclampsia, magnesium sulfate was given. During a complicated postoperative
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease that leads to progressive muscle weakness and is common during female reproductive years. The myasthenic mother and her newborn must be observed carefully, as complications during all stages of pregnancy and the puerperium may arise suddenly.
Randomised and controlled treatment studies of juvenile-onset myasthenia gravis have not been published. We therefore report our retrospective analysis of 79 patients with juvenile-onset myasthenia gravis observed for as long as 30 years. The mean age at onset was 13.7 years and median follow-up 7.7
