ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal (GI)-predominant myasthenia gravis (MG) is rare and presents a complex clinical scenario. We report the case of a 73-year-old female with dysphagia and intractable nausea found to have bulbar MG. Her symptoms persisted despite conventional MG management with plasma exchange therapy and anticholinergics. We review existing literature and discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of bulbar MG. This case highlights the need for novel MG treatment modalities in patients like ours with anomalous, GI-predominant MG who might not respond to conventional management.
