ABSTRACT
Myasthenia gravis and Graves disease are autoimmune diseases that can coexist in the same patient. We report a 18 years old female with a history of myasthenia gravis diagnosed at the age of six, treated with neostigmine and prednisone. She starts with palpitations, dyspnea, proximal muscle weakness and exophthalmos appearing seven months after the onset of symptoms. She was admitted to the hospital due to her decompensated hyperthyroidism. After admission, she develops a myasthenic crisis, that requires mechanical ventilation. Afterwards, the patient is subjected to a thymectomy and thyroidectomy with a good postoperative evolution.
