Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder
characterised by fluctuating and variable combination
of muscle weakness and fatigue. Most cases are due to
T-cell mediated autoantibodies against post-synaptic
acetylcholine receptors (AChR-Ab), thus preventing
acetylcholine from binding and signalling skeletal
muscle to contract.
1
The annual incidence is 7-23 new cases per million.
1
It can occur at any age but with two peaks; an early-
onset (20-40 years) female-predominant and a late-onset
(60-80 years) male-predominant peak. MG is classified
into ocular and generalised (80%). More than half the
patients initially present with ptosis and diplopia but half
will progress to generalised disease with involvement of
bulbar, limb and respiratory weakness. Those presenting
as generalised MG can also develop eye signs later.
1
It is important to recognise MG early because it is
highly treatable. Untreated disease leads to permanent
weakness.

Treatment reduces mortality from life-
threatening myasthenic crisis.

Misdiagnosis leads to
potentially harmful interventions and inappropriate
management.

Diagnosis in late-onset MG is easily
missed

because of overlapping symptoms with
other diseases common in the elderly. We report a case
of delay and misdiagnosis in an elderly patient with
co-morbidities.

7.Myasthenia Gravis with subsequent premature ovarian insufficiency: A case report

The incidence rate of Myasthenia Gravis coexisting with other autoimmune diseases is
approximately 8.7 – 25%, but it is rarely associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)
with only less than 1% of women affected. This is a case of premature ovarian insufficiency in
a 29 year old woman diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, who presented with lower extremity
weakness and experienced two episodes of myasthenic crisis requiring thymectomy. Three years
after, she noted oligomenorrhea that quickly progressed to amenorrhea. Extensive immunologic
and genetic investigative studies showed no identifiable cause for the POI, except for its
close temporal relationship with the occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis. The patient has been
responsive to hormone replacement and immunomodulation therapy, and has not developed
any further episodes of myasthenic crisis. A review of seven other reported cases describing
a similar condition was also included in the discussion.
