Abstract [eng] |
This case report outlines a special case of a patient who suffers not only from multiple sclerosis (MS) but also from myasthenia gravis (MG). In terms of time, these two immune disorders were diagnosed by a wide margin, but the task of this case report is to remind any physician reading this that sudden changes in symptoms or conspicuous limitations in everyday life can be associated with a second autoimmune disease. This may happen either independent or dependent on the first autoimmune disease. Recognizing this, is a challenge but autoimmune diseases often occur at a young age, so that every physician should be even more motivated to rule out these avoidable coincidences. This thesis summarizes the most important information about MS and later it will be described the case. Information about MS were gained by a literature review and the case was worked out in cooperation with the neurologic unit of the Vilnius University Hospital. |
