Abstract

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular junction disease and rare in childhood. The clinical symptoms mostly begin in eye muscles with ptosis. Therefore, without ptosis there may be delays in diagnosis or the patients may be misdiagnosed. In this case a five year old boy who was diagnosed and treated as Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) with the signs of difficulty in walking and strabismus, admitted to our clinic with same complaints. After detailed investigations he is diagnosed as Myasthenia Gravis.

Özet

Bir nöromuskuler bileşke hastalığı olan Miyastenia Gravis (MG) çocukluk çağında nadir görülür. Klinik bulgular çoğunlukla göz kaslarında başlar ve kendini ptozis ile belli eder. Bu nedenle ptozisi olmayan olgularda tanıda gecikmeler veya yanlış tanılar olabilir. Yürüme zorluğu ve gözlerde kayma yakınmalarıyla Miller-Fisher (MFS) sendromu olarak değerlendilerek tedavi edilen fakat şikayetlerinin gerilememesi nedeniyle yapılan değerlendirmede Miyastenia Gravis tanısı alan 5 yaşında erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
