Acute inspiratory stridor: a presentation of myasthenia gravis.

M Abul Matin1, K Alam, K O'Driscoll, P J Murphy.   

Abstract

We present a rare presentation of myasthenia gravis as acute inspiratory stridor in a 16-year-old girl. Prompt diagnosis and medical treatment avoided the need for tracheostomy. Although an uncommon cause, myasthenia gravis should be included in the differential diagnosis of stridor.
