Rezumat: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular
disorder characterized by the presence of nicotinicreceptor
auto-antibodies which reduce the number of
these receptors within the muscular junction. It is twice
as common among women at a young age than men, so
it may occur during pregnancy. We report the case of a
20-year-old pacient, with a pregnancy of 34 weeks, known
with a generalized form of myasthenia gravis for 4 years
who is admitted to our clinic for pregnancy monitoring.
She also requires treatement for a urinary infection with
Klebsiella which led to ureterohydronephrosis on the right
kidney. This infection caused a myasthenic crisis before
presentation. The pregnancy was carried to term and the
pacient gave birth to a male baby with a weight of 2650
grams. In conclusion, the evolution of a pregnant pacient
with myasthenia gravis is unpredictable and it requires
careful monitoring from a multidisciplinary team. Cuvinte cheie: myasthenia gravis, pregnancy.
