INTRODUCTION

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune  neuromuscular disorder which is most prevalent in young women aged 20-30 .It leads to muscle weakness hence inability to chew foods properly.Drooping of eyelids is also seen in Myasthenia gravis.Being an autoimmune disorder it generally affects body’s own immune system.In Myasthenia gravis ,body’s antibodies block the Ach acetylcholine receptors which is needed for muscle contraction.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF MYASTHENIA GRAVIS?

1. As we know, Myasthenia gravis causes weakness of the voluntary (skeletal) muscles.
2. The cause of autoimmune disorders such as myasthenia gravis is unknown.
3. In some cases,myasthenia gravis may be associated with tumors of the thymus .
4. Patients with myasthenia gravis have a higher risk of having other autoimmune disorders such as thyrotoxicosis,systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus),and rheumatoid arthritis.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MYASTHENIA GRAVIS?

• In most cases,the first noticeable symptom is weakness of the eye muscles.In others,difficulty in swallowing and slurred speech may be the first signs.
• The onset of the disorder is sudden.Often symptoms are intermittent.
• It is generally seen that diagnosis of myasthenia gravis may be delayed if the symptoms are variable.
• The muscle weakness of Myasthenia gravis worsens with activity and improves with rest.
• Muscles that control eye and eyelid movement,facial expressions are affected.The muscles that control breathing and neck and limb movements can also be affected .

Weakness in affected muscles may cause:

1. The patient may experience breathing difficulty because of weakness of the chest wall muscles.
2. The patient may experience chewing or swallowing difficulty,causing frequent gagging and choking.

WHAT ARE THE INVESTIGATIONS FOR MYASTHENIA GRAVIS?

Physical examination may reveal muscle weakness that progressively worsens as the muscle is used.In many people with Myasthenia gravis , the eye muscles are affected first.The patient’s reflexes and sensation are normal.Weakness from Myasthenia gravis may affect the arms, legs , breathing or swallowing muscles, and any other muscle group.

1. Acetylcholine receptor antibodies (may be present in the blood)
2. CT or MRI scan of the chest
3. NCS Nerve Conduction study.
4. EMG (Electromyography )
5. Let’s discuss the above investigations .
6. Here CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ) may show abnormal growth of thymus cells or show evidence of  Thymoma.
7. EMG is known as Electromyography which measures electrical activity in response to stimulation of the nerve of the muscle.
8. NCS (Nerve conduction study) measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through nerve conduction in the nervous system.This gives a  clear indication about Nerve damage .During this procedure the nerve is stimulated with electrode patches around the skin.

WHAT IS  THE TREATMENT FOR MYASTHENIA GRAVIS?

According to modern medicine the treatment for myasthenia gravis

1. MEDICATION

Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are the first choice of drugs in the treatment for Myasthenia gravis.These medications help to reduce the abnormal immune response that is most observed by the patient  in Myasthenia gravis. Moreover  cholinesterase inhibitors, such as pyridostigmine (Mestinon), have been used  to increase the  communication duration  between nerves and muscles.

Thymus gland removal

It is known as the removal of the thymus gland.  It  is part of the immune system that may be appropriate for many patients who are suffering  with Myasthenia Gravis. Once the thymus gland  is removed, patients generally  show less muscle weakness.Benign Tumors  are always removed because they may become cancerous.

3. Plasma exchange

Plasmapheresis is a procedure which is  also known as a plasma exchange. The process helps in the  removal of harmful antibodies from the blood.  This may result in an improvement in muscle strength of the patient. Whereas Plasmapheresis  is a short-term treatment. Here the body will continuously produce harmful antibodies and weakness may recur in the patient. Plasma exchange shows excellent results  before surgery as well as during times of extreme weakness of Myasthenia gravis.

4. Intravenous immune globulin

Generally this treatment Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is  not known by the patient.It is known as a blood product which comes from the blood donors. It’s generally used in autoimmune Myasthenia gravis . Although it’s not clear whether Intravenous immune globulin  is effective or not.It shows an excellent result in the creation and function of antibodies.
