Definition:
Trastorno de la transmisión neuromuscular, caracterizado por la debilidad de los músculos craneales y esqueléticos. Los autoanticuerpos dirigidos contra los receptores de acetilcolina dañan las terminaciones motoras de la unión neuromuscular, lo que afecta la transmisión de impulsos a los músculos esqueléticos.
