Disorders of neuromuscular transmission other than myasthenia gravis
Muscle Nerve.
1981 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
Disorders of neuromuscular transmission in humans are caused by a wide variety of agents including systemic diseases, drugs, environmental toxins, animal envenomation, cations, and hormones. Some are genetically determined. Many are of known etiology. All such disorders interfere with one or more events in the sequence whereby a nerve impulse excites a muscle action potential. In many disorders of neuromuscular transmission, abnormal fatigue occurs, and some cases respond dramatically to treatment. Investigation of the microphysiology, microanatomy, and pharmacology of both normal and diseased neuromuscular junctions has increased our knowledge of these disorders.
