Myasthenia Gravis is a disorder of neuromuscular function, caused by the presence of antibodies to acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. It is characterized by muscular weakness and debility. This edited volume presents a broad approach to the understanding of the disorder. Starting with a section on anatomy and physiology, to understand the physiologic actions of the nueromuscular receptors, the volume reviews natural history, diagnosis, and treatment for myasthenia gravis, and other related myasthenic conditions.
