Myasthenia Gravis

Specialized diagnosis and management of this neuromuscular disorder causing muscle weakness and fatigue.

In the nervous system
01 · Where it sits

Peripheral nerves

Carrying signals between the spinal cord and the muscles and skin. Myasthenia Gravis is usually associated with this part of the nervous system.

A broad teaching association, not a diagnosis. A symptom in one area very often originates somewhere else entirely, and only a neurological examination can establish where.
