Congenital and developmental myasthenia - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - congenital and developmental myasthenia
Clinical Pattern
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to assess muscle strength
- Electromyography (EMG) to measure electrical activity in the muscles
- Blood tests to check for antibodies associated with myasthenia
- Single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) to measure the electrical activity of individual muscle fibers
- Nerve conduction studies to measure the speed of electrical signals travelling along the nerves
- Imaging tests such as CT scans or MRI scans to check for any abnormalities in the brain and spine
- Genetic testing to check for any changes in genes associated with myasthenia
- Tensilon test to measure the response to a drug used to treat myasthenia
- Lumbar puncture to check for antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid
Treatment and Medical Assistance
- Prescribe medications to help manage muscle weakness and fatigue.
- Perform physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve coordination.
- Provide nutritional counseling to ensure proper nutrition.
- Provide psychological support to help the patient cope with the condition.
- Refer to specialists for further evaluation and treatment.
- Perform regular check-ups to monitor the patient's progress.
