2017
Myasthenia gravisis an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by muscle weaknessthat fluctuates, worsening with exertion, and improving with rest. Diagnosis of myasthenia gravisis made following clinical and physical examination and is confirmed by serum immunoassays to measure autoantibody levels. Myasthenia gravisespecially when associated with pregnancy is a high-risk disease, and its course is unpredictable. We described the second report about use of sugammadexafter rocuroniumfor a caesarean deliverywith myasthenia gravis, but, unlike our case that formerly was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, the patient was extubated on postoperative successfully and we did not encounter any respiratory problems.
