Abstract

Objective: To report a case with an unusual presentation of myasthenia gravis after a severe acute respiratory syndrome coro- navirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and literature review. Method: We report a case of a patient with head drop and a postsynaptic myasthenic syndrome after a SARS-CoV-2 infection and a retrospective review of the literature of all the reported cases of myasthenia gravis de novo associated with SARS-CoV2 infection from march-2020 to september-2022. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images or videos. Conclusion: Myasthenia gravis could also be the result of an autoimmune reaction triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
