Dr. C. Arshad Akeel, Dr. K. Padmanabhan

Abstract :

Myasthenia gravis is often complicated by respiratory failure, known as a myasthenic crisis. However, most of the patients who develop respiratory symptoms do so during the late course of disease and have other neurological signs and symptoms. However, in some patients respiratory failure is the initial presenting symptom. We report the case of a 28–year–old gentleman with MG who presented with respiratory failure and proximal muscle weakness of the upper limbs as his first presenting symptom. As this patient was not responding to plasma exchange or iv immunoglobulin but to Inj.Rituximab.
