Rahma Beyrouti, Sylvie Courtois, Andreas Fickl and Elie Cohen

The prevalence of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in the elderly population exceeds 1% according to recent reports, whereas myasthenia gravis (MG) is much rarer. The expected prevalence of the combination of MG and PD can be grossly estimated to 3 cases per 6 million. To our knowledge, since 1987, 12 cases of concurrent PD and MG have been reported . We report a new case of PD associated with MG with update literature review.
