Abstract

Myasthenia gravis is an acquired neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness of the extra-ocular muscles, which progresses to generalized weakness of the voluntary muscles and fatigability. The presented case is of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of drooping of bilateral eyelids and breathlessness and was diagnosed to have myasthenia gravis and thymic mass. It is uncommon for an elderly patient to present with thymic mass and myasthenia gravis concurrently.
