Abstract :
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a relatively rare
autoimmune disorder caused by an antibody-mediated
blockade of neuromuscular transmission resulting in
skeletal muscle weakness. The autoimmune attack
occurs when autoantibodies form against the nicotinic
acetylcholine postsynaptic receptors at the
neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles. Patients
with myasthenia, usually presents with painless, specific
muscle weakness. Typically it affects extra ocular,
bulbar, or proximal limb muscles. Approximately 50%
to 80% patients presents with ocular and 20% patient
presents with bulbar symptoms. Though some specific
clinical and serological tests are there to confirm the
diagnosis, a high index of suspicion and detail clinical
history brings the utmost importance. In this article we
highlighted 02 cases of MG; a boy of 15 years and a
male farmer 42 year presented with the presentation of
MG
Keywords :
