Neonatal Myasthenia Gravis: Case Report
Abstract
Moreira GS, Fontes RCFB, Toledo DO, Souza AL and Souza ACJ
Neonatal myasthenia gravis is characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. It affects up to 30% of the children of pregnant women with myasthenia gravis. The absence of maternal symptoms is not related to the non-occurrence of the disease. It is believed that there is a transfer of antibodies against nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which may cause hypotonia, respiratory failure, weak crying, sucking difficulty, arthrogryposis, hyperbilirubinemia, among other alterations.
