Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular
Consider a “Snowflake Disease”Cause is still unknownNo known cureHistory Incident and prevalence is increasing with 5-10
per 100,000 25,000 cases in USStill considered sporadicWomen versus menOften associated with other autoimmune disorders

Class I: Ocular weakness, other muscle are normal
Class II: Mild weakness affecting other muscle
Class IIa: Muscles weakness affecting limbs and possibly oropharyngeal muscles
Class III: Moderate weakness/severe ocular weakness
Class IV: Severe weakness affecting limb muscle
Class V: Defined by intubation

Endrophonium (tensilon) Chloride Test2.6-3.3 mg initial doseNeostigmine may be used in patients
who do not respond to tensilonAuto-antibodies in MG – receptor
binding antibodies are present in 80% of patients
Thymic hyperplasia is present in 70%

Congenital Myasthenia Syndromes (not autoimmune)
Drug induced MGEaton-Lambert Syndrome (related to Small
cell carcinoma of the lung)Hyperthyroidism (increases MG symptoms)Graves diseaseBotulismOphthalmoplegiaIntracranial pathology
Differential Diagnosis

Fatigue or insufficient sleep Stress, anxiety, illness Overexertion, repetitive motion Pain or depression Low potassium or thyroid levels Alcoholic beverages Sudden fear, or extreme anger Extreme temperatures Humidity Sunlight or bright lights Hot foods or beverages Medications (beta blockers, antibiotics, calcium blockers) Chemicals such as household cleaner, insecticides, pet sprays,
lawn chemicals
Factors that Worsen MG

Cholinesterase inhibitorPyridostigmine – most commonly usedNeostigmine – used less frequently
ThymectomyPlasmapheresisCorticoid Steroid TherapyImmunosuppressive therapy (azathioprine,
cyclosporine, etc.)Short-term Immunotherapy (IV
immunoglobulin)

46 year old male diagnosis with MG in 6/2006Presenting symptoms: fatigue and weakness after
working out with intermittent dipopliaAt time of diagnosis weakness lead to respiratory
failure leading ventilation and respiratory support x 3 days
Residual symptoms: weakness, pain and left ptosis
Refractory to medical support under went a thymectomy in October 2009

was instructed not to take it (not by anesthesia department)
