        | Core Tip | 
        Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction that overall has higher incidence in women than men. This disease can variably affect pregnancy; and specific considerations need to be taken by a multidisciplinary team (including obstetricians/gynecologists, neurologists, and anesthesiologists) in pregnant women during their pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum period. We herein discuss about our understanding about MG presentation and its effect on pregnancy and vice versa, safe therapeutic approaches for MG as well as pregnancy/Labor complications, and finally specific fetal and neonatal considerations in MG pregnant women. |
