Abstract
Serious diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas may arise when preeclampsi a complicates pregnancy in a myasthenic patient. Four cases of such an association were previously reponed in the English-language medical l iterature and the fifth one-is reported here. Based on the literature review and our own case, the problems that may arise when myasthenia g ravis is complicated by severe preeclampsia during pregnancy are discu ssed and guidelines for diagnosis and management are suggested.
