ABSTRACT
We report the story of an 11-year-old girl admitted to the emergency room for diplopia and divergent squint. Promptly apparead a fluctuating ptosis, a nasal voice and swallowing disorders, evoking the diagnosis of autoimmune myasthenia. The latter has been confirmed with electromyogram. Treatment with corticoids, plasmapheresis and pyridostigmine allowed symptoms control. Thymectomy by left thoracoscopy, non-robot assisted, was performed 6 months after the appearance of the first clinical signs for the purpose of remission.
