Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder caused by the body producing antibodies that attack itself, resulting in nerves that previously functioned normally to malfunction and fail to transmit signals. This leads to muscle weakness in various muscles. Myasthenia Gravis can occur at any age but is more common in females than males. If not properly treated, it can be life-threatening. The Neurology Clinic at the Brain and Spinal Cord Center, Phyathai 2 Hospital, is ready to provide timely services and care with specialized doctors and expert staff available 24 hours a day.
