Abstract:
:Myasthenia gravis, a rare disease in children, occurs in a variety of forms. The aetiology and clinical presentations are reviewed. Eight patients who were studied with electromyography are presented. The results show that, in general, patients with the usual pattern of disease are resistant to suxamethonium (ED95 3-4 times normal) and are sensitive to nondepolarizing relaxants. When the latter are used it is advisable to administer small increments with neuromuscular monitoring. One patient with the disease localised to the eyelid had normal EMG responses when monitored on the hand with ulnar nerve stimulation.
