Background: The correlation linking Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and pituitary adenomas is exceedingly uncommon. Our thorough investigation of medical literature uncovered merely eight documented cases showcasing this association. Notably, five of these cases specifically involved adenomas that secreted prolactin¹. Two instances implicated a non-functional pituitary adenoma in this rare association². Solely one case was identified involving a growth hormone (GH)-secreting ...

Introduction: The coexistence of myasthenia gravis (MG) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is well recognised, with 5-10% of MG patients also having an AITD1-2.

This implies a potential immunological cross-reactivity between the neuromuscular junction and thyroid components...
