Bilateral medial medullary stroke: A rare stroke syndrome masquerading as myasthenia crisis in a young diabetic lady
J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2022 Mar;52(1):30-33. doi: 10.1177/14782715221088914.ABSTRACTBilateral medial medullary stroke is a rare stroke syndrome. The clinical presentation of bilateral medial medullary stroke is heterogenous and often overlaps with other non-stroke neurology emergencies such as Guillain-Barrésyndrome, myasthenic crisis and acute vestibular syndrome, leading to misdiagnosis. We wish to present a case of a young lady with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who had presented with subacute neuromuscular weakness which was erroneously treated as myasthenic crisis. Her case was subsequently diagnosed as bilateral med...

Myasthenia Gravis and Ischemic Stroke: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study
CONCLUSION: Bidirectional MR analysis did not provide evidence to support a causal relationship between genetically predicted MG and IS, although observational studies have found such a potential link.PMID:37403387 | DOI:10.2174/1567202620666230703122140

Dysphagia in Stroke, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Advanced Dementia
This article reviews stroke, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and advanced dementia. Approaches to screening and evaluation, recognizing sentinel indicators of decline that increase aspiration risk, and options for managing global laryngeal dysfunction are also presented.

Myasthenia gravis as a 'stroke mimic' - it's all in the history.
Abstract An 85-year-old man presented to hospital as an emergency having difficulties with swallowing and speech. In the emergency department, he was assessed as having acute onset dysphagia and dysarthria in keeping with an acute stroke. Subsequently, it became apparent that although the symptoms were indeed of relatively acute onset, there was a clear description by the patient of fatigability and diurnal variation, prompting a working clinical diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. The patient followed a turbulent clinical course, and interpretation of investigation results proved not to be straightforward in the acut...

Fatigue and fatigability in neurologic illnesses: Proposal for a unified taxonomy
Fatigue is commonly reported in many neurologic illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, myasthenia gravis, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Fatigue contributes substantially to decrements in quality of life and disability in these illnesses. Despite the clear impact of fatigue as a disabling symptom, our understanding of fatigue pathophysiology is limited and current treatment options rarely lead to meaningful improvements in fatigue. Progress continues to be hampered by issues related to terminology and assessment. In this article, we propose a unified taxonomy and a novel assessment approach to add...

The locked-in syndrome: posterior stroke in the ED
We present this report and brief review as it is unusual to watch locked-in syndrome evolve in the ED. Providers should be aware of the presenting symptoms and the differential diagnosis for bulbar muscle weakness as well as the management of posterior stroke.
