Abstract
Narcolepsy with cataplexy and myasthenia gravis are both chronic neurologic conditions causing symptoms of muscle weakness, often affecting facial muscles, and have both been attributed to an immune-mediated etiology. We report an adolescent girl diagnosed with both conditions and discuss possible shared mechanisms and the diagnostic challenges presented by her case to inform and aid clinicians managing children and young people with these rare conditions.
