âś… It serves to warn of expanding intracranial mass lesions, to prevent or treat herniation events as well as pressure elevation which impedes nutrient delivery to the brain. #FOAMcc #NeuroCritCare
#Tweetorial! Continuing with the #NeuroBootCamp my co-chiefs and I are leading @EmoryNeurology on #NeuroEmergencies, today’s #MedEd topic will be:

Some basic background info: Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder causing faulty neuromuscular junction transmission. Typically due to one of the following antibodies:
-AchR
-MuSK
-LRP4
-Can be seronegative
20% have crisis within 1st yr of diagnosis!

Clinically Myasthenia manifests itself with ptosis, fatigable weakness, eye movement abnormalities, and in the case of crisis- respiratory compromise.
