EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF MYASTHENIA IN CHILDREN: CLINICAL FEATURES AND COURSE

Abstract

Myasthenia in children is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by impaired transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness and pathological fatigue. Early diagnosis of this condition is particularly important in pediatric practice, as it helps prevent complications and improves the prognosis. However, diagnosing myasthenia in childhood is a serious clinical challenge due to variable manifestations, polymorphic courses, and difficulties in interpreting symptoms in young children.
