Myasthenia gravis patient on ventilatory support : A case report.

Puneet Verma

Abstract :

Anticholinesterase medications are the mainstay of treatment for myasthenia gravis patients. Severe episodes may be caused by insufficient medication (myasthenic crisis) or excessive medication (cholinergic crisis). The distinction between "cholinergic" and "myasthenic” crisis becomes inconsequential. I present a rare case of myasthenia gravis with recurrent exacerbations due to myasthenia/ cholinergic crisis requiring ventiltory support.
