case study- Myasthenia Gravis

 
  • The presence of acetylcholine receptor antibodies.
  • Edrophonium test: in which edrophonium chloride is injected intravenously to prevent acetylcholine degradation, hence the level of acetylcholine increases at the neuromuscular junction.
  • Nerve conduction study: conducted for fatigue, in which repetitive neuronal stimulation is done. It results in decrements of muscle action potential due to impaired nerve to muscle conduction.
