Highlights from the 2022 American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine Annual Meeting

The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) annual meeting brought together neurologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, other allied health professionals, and researchers. Courses, plenary sessions, and workshops focused on the management and treatment of neuromuscular diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis (MG), and spinal muscular atrophy. Click above for a summary of the first two days of the conference.

Seronegative Ocular Myasthenia Gravis in an Older Woman With Transient Dizziness and Diplopia

Seronegative Ocular Myasthenia Gravis in an Older Woman With Transient Dizziness and Diplopia

Source : https://www.cureus.com/articles/108462-seronegative-ocular-myasthenia-gravis-in-an-older-woman-with-transient-dizziness-and-diplopia

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular junction disease caused by an autoimmune response against cholinergic receptors. The challenge in diagnosing MG in older patients is the variety of symptoms and...


Conclusion/Relevance: We report a case of seronegative MG with the chief complaint of dizziness in a 91-year-old female. Despite the complicated clinical course, continuous clinical reasoning and testing can lead to appropriate diagnosis and treatment. As the dizziness symptoms in this older patient could not be explained by chronic or...

Electrophysiologic evaluation of myasthenia gravis and its mimics: real-world experience with single-fiber electromyography

Electrophysiologic evaluation of myasthenia gravis and its mimics: real-world experience with single-fiber electromyography

Source : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21548331.2022.2125706?journalCode=ihop20

ABSTRACT In centers which routinely perform single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) for suspected myasthenia gravis (MG), the additional benefit of other neurophysiologic investigations and the frequency of myasthenia mimics has not...


Conclusion: SFEMG can be abnormal in a number of myasthenia mimics, and routine nerve conduction studies and electromyography should always be undertaken. In centers where SFEMG is performed routinely for the investigation of suspected MG, extensive proximal repetitive nerve stimulation can be foregone without substantially affecting diagnostic...
