Myasthenia gravis presents with a range of symptoms primarily characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. Common symptoms include ptosis, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphonia, and dysphagia. Both central and peripheral fatigue are prevalent, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. In severe cases, respiratory muscles may be compromised, leading to critical conditions. Unusual presentations, though rare, can complicate the diagnosis and management of the disease.
