Myasthenia Gravis Occurring Simultaneously With Inflammatory Myopathy in Sjogren's Syndrome

ABSTRACT

Myasthenia gravis (MG) and inflammatory myopathy are both rare autoimmune disorders that present with signs of muscle weakness and can sometimes be accompanied by other connective-tissue diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome. However, the simultaneous occurrence of MG and inflammatory myopathy is very rare. We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman with MG occurring simultaneously with inflammatory myopathy in Sjogren's syndrome.
