Transient Neonatal Myasthenia Gravis
Transient neonatal myasthenia gravis affects some babies born to mothers with myasthenia gravis, when the mother's antibodies cross the placenta and interfere with the nerve signals to the baby's muscles. Newborns may have a weak cry, floppy muscles, and trouble feeding or breathing in the first days of life. Care is supportive, with feeding and breathing help and sometimes medicines, until the antibodies clear and strength returns.
This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.
Transient Neonatal Myasthenia Gravis is very rare and little research has been published, so this page includes research from every year, including case reports about individual patients. Case reports are marked, and describe one person's experience rather than tested results.
Most Recent Research
A four-day-old female born full term via uncomplicated vaginal delivery presented to the emergency department with poor oral intake. There was a significant maternal history of myasthenia gravis requiring pyridostigmine and intravenous immunoglobulin infusions five days per month. It was suspected that the patient had transient maternal acetylcholine antibodies causing the weakness and poor oral intake. The patient was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for further evaluation and management. Laboratory evaluation revealed elevated acetylcholine receptor antibodies at 2.69 nmol/L, which confirmed transient transfer of maternal antibodies. After a six-day hospitalization, the patient had improved oral intake, appropriate weight gain, and resolution of her weakness. The patient was safely discharged home.
