Nursing Diagnosis for Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis is a condition in which the body’s immune system damages nerve receptors on your muscles. This results in apparent muscle weakness, as these receptors are necessary for your muscles to contract. If the eyelid muscles are affected by MG, this can result in lid droop (ptosis). If it involves the muscles needed for eye movement, it can result in double vision.
