Summary: Abstract: Myasthenia Gravis is a Chronic autoimmune disorder caused by a decrease in functional acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction due to their destruction or inactivation by circulating antibodies. Functional acetycholine receptors lost accounts for the weakness and easy fatigability of these patients. Patients with this disease may become pregnant and require anesthesia for vaginal or abdominal delivery. The objectives of this report are: 1. To present a case of an adult patient with myasthenia gravis who underwent an Emergency Low Segment Cesarean Section under Continuous Lumbar Epidural Anesthesia. 2. To give an overview of the anesthetic concern in myasthenia gravis during Pregnancy. 3. To discuss the anesthetic management of a parturient with myasthenia gravis.
