Myasthenia gravis at childhood

Abstract

Juvenile myasthenia gravis (JMG) is the most common myasthenic disorder affecting children. JMG includes a group of autoimmune antibody-mediated disorders targeting neuromuscular junction proteins. The clinical hallmark of the disease is fluctuating and fatigable skeletal muscle weakness, which improves with rest. Ocular symptoms could be the first signs of the disease as ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, and/or diplopia. In this study we present a JMG patient who was planned to be operated for strabismus before referring to our clinic.
