Serious diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas may arise when preeclampsia complicates pregnancy in a myasthenic patient. Four cases of such an association were previously reported in the English-language medical literature and the fifth one is reported here. Based on the literature review and our own case, the problems that may arise when myasthenia gravis is complicated by severe preeclampsia during pregnancy are discussed and guidelines for diagnosis and management are suggested.
