Abstract
Concurrence of myasthenia gravis (MG) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1A) neuropathy is rare. We describe a 60-year-old woman with MG and genetically proved CMT1A. The fluctuating ocular symptoms and proximal limb weakness were markedly improved by pyridostigmine treatment. Recognition of the possible association of MG and CMT1A in the same patient is important because the therapeutic result is rewarding.Entities:
