A case illustrates seizures in a patient with myasthenia gravis and epilepsy, highlighting diagnostic complexities.
A 27‐year‐old male patient with a known case of epilepsy and also recently diagnosed with myasthenia gravis presented with dysphagia, respiratory distress, and seizures. Despite timely intervention, he progressed into septic shock during a myasthenic crisis and succumbed to cardiopulmonary arrest. The underlying autoimmune nature of this condition shows a clinically significant and rare overlap between myasthenia gravis and epilepsy. This case emphasizes the importance of early detection and careful drug selection or management in neuromuscular and neurological disorders.
