[Dysphagia as the sole manifestation of myasthenia gravis].
Dysphagia as the sole manifestation of myasthenia gravis is very rare. Here we describe a case of an adult patient who developed an insidious onset of oropharyngeal dysphagia as the first and sole manifestation of myasthenia gravis. After multiple evaluations the underlying disease was recognized by electromyographics studies. English and Spanish literature on the matter was reviewed.
