La incidencia de miastenia gravis (MG) está aumentando actualmente, fundamentalmente a expensas de los mayores de 60 años. Datos recientes indican que la MG está infradiagnosticada en los ancianos muy mayores. Presentamos 2 casos de MG en mujeres ancianas, en las que el diagnóstico inicial fue incierto. Cuando nos encontremos con debilidad de reciente aparición, especialmente de la musculatura craneal, en un paciente anciano, los clínicos deberíamos considerar la MG como una posibilidad diagnóstica(AU)
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is diagnosed more often today than previously. The increase is mainly found in patients over the age of 60 years. Recent data indicate that MG may still be substantially underdiagnosed in very old people. We report two cases of MG in elderly women, in whom the initial diagnosis was uncertain. When faced with new onset of weakness in an elderly patient, particularly of cranial musculature, clinicians should consider MG as a diagnostic possibility(AU)
