Summary

Although relatively uncommon in routine practice, myasthenia gravis is one of a group of muscle diseases which are a beloved exam topic. This is because for each there are a number of specific perioperative issues. Your knowledge is explored through discussion of these issues. A useful way to introduce your answer is with an opening statement explaining the basis of the disorder and the main clinical features.
