ReviewMyasthenia gravis in pregnancy: report on 69 cases.
To review our experience with pregnancies in women with myasthenia gravis (MG). ⋯ MG patients can have normal pregnancy and delivery but the course is unpredictable. Shorter disease history and infection predispose to puerperal exacerbation. Maternal thymectomy lessens the likelihood of neonatal myasthenia. An interdisciplinary approach is required for managing the pregnant women with MG.
