Ebert-Santos, Christine, and Ana Campos. Ileus at altitude. High Alt Med Biol. 25:342-344, 2024.-Autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) is a condition commonly caused by the production of antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors. Until recently, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were considered rare in myasthenia gravis, but are now being proposed as an early identification tool. Presented here is a case study that exemplifies GI symptoms in MG, exacerbated by low barometric pressure at altitude. This illustrates the need to identify GI symptoms earlier in MG patients, as well as the need for providers at high altitude to be aware of these manifestations of MG.
期刊介绍:
High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
