Brain Stem Compression by a Giant Vertebrobasilar Aneurysm Mimicking Seronegative Myasthenia
JNNP 71:125-126, Frisby,J.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
A patient is described with a vertebrobasilar aneurysm who was erroneously thought to have myasthenia gravis on the basis of the clinical presentation and investigations, which were interpreted as supportive of a disorder of the neuromuscula r junction. Despite the correct diagnosis being made at a late stage the patient made a full recovery after radiological intervention.
