title: Myasthenia gravis associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy: report of a case.
abstract: We report the case of a 24 year old woman who developed myasthenia gravis in the course of a mild form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy. We describe the clinical manifestations together with the neurophysiological, pathological, serological findings and response to therapy and discuss the unusual association in the light of the relevant literature.
