Myasthenia gravis presenting as acute vocal cord paresis.

Muhammad Kamaal Khan1, Steven M Powell, Chris Hartley, Peter Cleland.   

Abstract

Myasthenia gravis is a condition rarely seen by otolaryngologists. We present a case of bilateral vocal cord paresis caused by previously undiagnosed myasthenia gravis. A tracheostomy was required after initial presentation and after a relapse. The airway management, neurological diagnosis and medical treatment are discussed.
