# Seizure as an Atypical Presentation of Myasthenia Gravis: A Rare but Critical Diagnostic Challenge

## TL;DR

A rare case shows how myasthenia gravis can present with seizures, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and treatment in overlapping neurological conditions.

## Contribution

Highlights a rare clinical overlap between myasthenia gravis and epilepsy, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary management.

## Key findings

- A patient with myasthenia gravis and epilepsy presented with seizures and respiratory distress.
- The case underscores the importance of early detection and drug management in overlapping neuromuscular and neurological disorders.

## Abstract

A 27‐year‐old male patient with a known case of epilepsy and also recently diagnosed with myasthenia gravis presented with dysphagia, respiratory distress, and seizures. Despite timely intervention, he progressed into septic shock during a myasthenic crisis and succumbed to cardiopulmonary arrest. The underlying autoimmune nature of this condition shows a clinically significant and rare overlap between myasthenia gravis and epilepsy. This case emphasizes the importance of early detection and careful drug selection or management in neuromuscular and neurological disorders.

The unusual co‐occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis and epilepsy highlighted the importance of considering multiple possible diagnoses to ensure patient survival through insightful surveillance, interdisciplinary management, and careful drug choice. The identification of autoimmune overlap with neurological diseases not only improves diagnosis and treatment but also encourages researchers to investigate further.
