Abstract

Myasthenia gravis (MG) and inflammatory myopathy are both rare autoimmune disorders that present with signs of muscle weakness and can sometimes be accompanied by other connective-tissue diseases such as Sj?gren’s syndrome. However, the simultaneous occurrence of MG and inflammatory myopathy is very rare. We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman with MG occurring simultaneously with inflammatory myopathy in Sj?gren’s syndrome. Key Words: Myasthenia gravis, Inflammatory myopathy, Sj?gren’s syndrome
