Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness in voluntary muscles, which worsens with activity and improves with rest. It occurs when the communication between nerves and muscles is disrupted due to antibodies blocking or destroying acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to control symptoms, prevent complications, and maintain quality of life.

At Abhyuday Lifecare Hospital, Dattanagar, Nanded,

Dr. Babarao Darku Patil, provides specialized care for Myasthenia Gravis, focusing on accurate diagnosis, symptom management, immunotherapy, and long-term rehabilitation.

Types of Myasthenia Gravis Treated

Dr. Babarao Darku Patil, manages various forms of MG, including:

  • Ocular Myasthenia Gravis – affects eye muscles, causing drooping eyelids or double vision
  • Generalized Myasthenia Gravis – affects multiple muscles including limbs, neck, and respiratory muscles
  • Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes – genetic variants affecting neuromuscular function
  • Thymoma-associated Myasthenia Gravis – related to thymus gland abnormalities

Treatment plans are customized based on severity, muscle involvement, and antibody profile.

Symptoms That Need Immediate Medical Attention

Myasthenia Gravis can progress gradually or suddenly. Key warning signs include:

  • Muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest
  • Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
  • Double vision (diplopia)
  • Difficulty swallowing, chewing, or speaking
  • Weakness in arms, legs, or neck
  • Shortness of breath or respiratory difficulty (myasthenic crisis – medical emergency)

Prompt consultation is critical, as early intervention prevents complications and improves outcomes.

Diagnostic Evaluation

Dr. Babarao Darku Patil, uses advanced diagnostic tools to confirm Myasthenia Gravis:

  • Detailed neurological and physical examination
  • Blood tests for acetylcholine receptor and muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibodies
  • Electromyography (EMG) and repetitive nerve stimulation tests
  • CT/MRI of the chest to detect thymus abnormalities
  • Pulmonary function tests in advanced cases

Accurate diagnosis guides effective treatment and long-term management.

Advanced Myasthenia Gravis Treatment Options

Treatment focuses on reducing antibody activity, improving muscle function, and preventing crises:

Medical Management

  • Anticholinesterase medications to improve nerve-muscle communication
  • Immunosuppressive therapy to reduce autoimmune response
  • Corticosteroids or other immune-modulating drugs

Thymus Treatment

  • Thymectomy (surgical removal of thymus) if thymoma is present

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Customized exercises help maintain muscle strength and mobility.

Crisis Management

Emergency protocols for respiratory support and myasthenic crisis prevention.
