Abstract:
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular transmission, usually recognized with ocular complaints or generalized muscle weakness. However, among the 1520 MG cases that had been diagnosed and treated in our hospital in the last 15 years (1990-2005), we have identified 7 MG patients whose initial and prominent complaint was dysphonia and all had been misdiagnosed elsewhere. The diagnoses were confirmed with fibrolaryngoscope and voice analysis employed before and after a positive neostigmine (anticholinesterase) test. Electromyography with repetitive stimulations, single-fiber electromyography, and laboratory and radiographic evaluations were also conducted for diagnosis. A surprisingly low seropositivity rate of anti-acetylcholine-receptor antibodies (1/7) and anti-MuSK (Muscle Specific Kinase) antibodies (0/6) were found in these dysphonia MG patients. A cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) and immunosuppressive therapy were applied for treatment. Extended thymectomy was applied to MG patients with thymus hyperplasia or thymic tumor. Significant improvement was found in all 7 cases after these treatments. We have developed a sere of diagnostic protocol for this rare type of laryngeal MG, and discussed the clinical implication of our data. In summary, dysphonia or laryngeal disorder can be the only prominent manifestation of MG in rare cases, which should be taken into consideration during the diagnosis to patients with exclusive laryngeal complaints.

摘要:
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular transmission, usually recognized with ocular complaints or generalized muscle weakness.

重症肌无力(MG)是神经肌肉传递系统的自身免疫性疾病,常以眼症或全身性肌无力而发现。但在1990-2005年在我院诊断和治疗的1520例MG患者中,我们发现7例MG患者的最初和突出症状为发声困难,而他们之前在别处已被误诊。

The diagnoses were confirmed with fibrolaryngoscope and voice analysis employed before and after a positive neostigmine (anticholinesterase) test. Electromyography with repetitive stimulations, single-fiber electromyography, and laboratory and radiographic evaluations were also conducted for diagnosis.
该诊断在新斯的明(胆碱酯酶抑制剂)试验阳性之前或之后通过纤维喉镜检查和声学分析而被确定。重复刺激肌电图描记、单纤维肌电图描记记、实验室和影像学检查也用作辅助诊断。
A surprisingly low seropositivity rate of anti-acetylcholine-receptor antibodies (1/7) and anti-MuSK (Muscle Specific Kinase) antibodies (0/6) were found in these dysphonia MG patients. A cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) and immunosuppressive therapy were applied for treatment.
令人吃惊的是在这些发声困难的MG患者抗乙酰胆碱受体(1/7)抗体和抗MuSK(肌肉特异性激酶)抗体(0/6) 血清阳性率很低。一种胆碱酯酶抑制剂和免疫抑制疗法用于治疗。
Extended thymectomy was applied to MG patients with thymus hyperplasia or thymic tumor. Significant improvement was found in all 7 cases after these treatments. We have developed a sere of diagnostic protocol for this rare type of laryngeal MG, and discussed the clinical implication of our data.
扩大性胸腺切除手术则用于合并胸腺增生或胸腺肿瘤的MG患者。在这些治疗后,7例患者病情均有显著改善。目前我们已为此类罕见的喉型MG建立了系列性的诊断草案,并讨论了我们数据的潜在临床意义。
