N2 - Neonatal myasthenia gravis is uncommon and life threatening. We describe the use of intravenously administered immunoglobulin, in addition to conventional modalities, in a neonate with severe neonatal myasthenia gravis. However, despite this aggressive management, the child had a prolonged period of weakness requiring intensive care.
