Unusual Presentation of Bulbar Myasthenia Gravis in a Young Adult
Anju Elizabeth Mathai, Aalam Zaib Aashiq, Siamik Salahi
Abstract: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune motor neuron disorder characterized by the weakness in the voluntary muscles, often presenting with ocular or bulbar symptoms. We report the case of a young adult female presenting with bulbar symptoms such as nasal regurgitation and dysphagia. Initial misdiagnosis led to delayed treatment but further evaluation confirmed Myasthenia gravis leading to successful management and symptom improvement. This case highlights the importance of considering Myasthenia gravis as a differential diagnosis for young patients with bulbar symptoms.
