ABSTRACT
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of the voluntary muscles. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with idiopathic generalized epilepsy who developed MG at 33. While the relationship between MG and epilepsy remains unclear, it is known that antiepileptic drugs can exacerbate MG. The rarity of this association suggests a need for cautious selection of antiepileptic treatments to avoid worsening either condition.
