What is Myasthenia Gravis?

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the receptors in muscles responsible for receiving nerve signals. This interference leads to muscle weakness. The most common affected muscles are those responsible for eye movement, facial expressions, and swallowing. Symptoms worsen with activity and improve with rest. MG can vary in severity, from mild to life-threatening, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial to improving quality of life.

Causes of Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis is caused by the immune system attacking the acetylcholine receptors on muscle cells, which prevents normal communication between nerves and muscles. This condition is often associated with abnormalities in the thymus gland, which plays a role in the immune system. Certain genetic factors and other autoimmune diseases may also increase the likelihood of developing MG. In some cases, viral infections might trigger autoimmune responses, leading to MG.

Diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis

To diagnose Myasthenia Gravis, doctors rely on a combination of blood tests, neurological examinations, and imaging techniques. Blood tests detect antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors. Electromyography (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles and helps confirm abnormal nerve-to-muscle communication. A CT scan or MRI can be used to detect thymus gland abnormalities, such as thymomas. A physical exam and detailed medical history are also essential for accurate diagnosis.

Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis

The hallmark symptom of Myasthenia Gravis is muscle weakness that worsens with use and improves with rest. Common symptoms include drooping eyelids (ptosis), double vision (diplopia), difficulty swallowing, and impaired speech. People with MG may also experience fatigue and weakness in the arms and legs. In severe cases, respiratory muscles may be affected, making it difficult to breathe. These symptoms tend to fluctuate and can become more pronounced after physical activity.

Treatment for Myasthenia Gravis

Treatment for Myasthenia Gravis primarily focuses on managing symptoms and improving muscle strength. Common treatments include medications such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which help improve nerve-to-muscle communication. Immunosuppressive drugs may be used to reduce the production of antibodies causing muscle weakness. For some patients, plasmapheresis or intravenous immunoglobulin therapy is used to remove abnormal antibodies. In some cases, surgery to remove the thymus gland (thymectomy) may provide long-term relief. Physical therapy can help improve muscle strength.
