Differential Involvement

The neck is furnished by dozens ofmuscles for flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. It carries a 10-pound head at least two-thirds of every day. These muscles are under delicate central control, and they are subject to different central and peripheral malfunctions. Differential involvement of the neck flexors versus extensors helps in diagnosing different neuromuscular disorders. Weakness of the cervical extensors leads to head drop, a troubling condition that is caused by many neuromuscular disorders. Movement disorders such as cervical dystonia and Parkinson disease may also lead to head drop, causing confusion with neuromuscular causes such as myasthenia gravis and ALS. Head protrusion of the elderly (camptocormia) is a different entity.

Upper Aerodigestive Tract

We report on three cases of patients whose primary symptoms of myasthenia gravis were related to the upper aerodigestive tract. Symptoms had been present unrecognized in all patients for up to three years, and one patient subsequently developed a myasthenic crisis. We highlight the clinical features of myasthenia gravis to allow its prompt recognition in patients presenting to the ENT surgeon or physician.
