Abstract

Acute respiratory failure is an uncommon initial presentation of myasthenia gravis. We present a case of unrecognised myasthenia gravis. She initially presented with dysphonia and was managed by speech therapy and ENT surgeons for a year. The diagnosis was finally made after the patient presented with acute respiratory failure.
