Abstract

ABSTRACT Most common neuromuscular junction disorder is Myasthenia gravis (MG) which has variable clinical presentations. Diplopia and drooping of eyelids are the peculiarity of myasthenia gravis. Commonly disease manifests as a fluctuating weakness of skeletal muscles. Although respiratory symptoms may be the initial presenting complaint in a few patients, usually it develops during the later part of the disease course. The initial presentation of isolated prominent respiratory distress is a relatively rare presentation of myasthenia gravis unless accompanied by other clinical features. We report a 40-year-old female patient, who visited our hospital with presenting complaints of breathlessness and generalized myalgia and subsequently developed fatigable weakness during hospitalization.
