Myasthenia Gravis: Or something else? Differential Diagnosis

Congenital malformations, deformities, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99).

  • Congenital (congenital) myasthenic syndrome.

Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).

Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)

  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – progressive (progressive), irreversible degeneration of the motor nervous system.
  • Bulbar paralysis – disease in which there is a failure of motor cranial nerve nuclei.
  • Functional paresis (paralysis).
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS; synonyms: Idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis, Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome); two courses: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (peripheral nervous system disease); idiopathic polyneuritis (diseases of multiple nerves) of spinal nerve roots and peripheral nerves with ascending paralysis and pain; usually occurs after infections.
  • Cranial nerve neuritis (inflammation of the cranial nerves).
  • Lambert-Eaton syndrome – autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and reflex loss.
  • Motoneuron disease
  • Multiple sclerosis – for ocular (affecting the eyes) symptoms.
  • Neonatal myasthenia (newborn myasthenia).
  • Polyradiculitis, acute – inflammation of multiple nerve roots.
