Résumé

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) can manifest with every type of malignancy. A well-known syndrome is myasthenia gravis (MG) in combination with thymomas. No association between primary brain tumors and neuromuscular disorders has been described. Here, we present a case of a 65-year-old patient who developed MG, following an uncomplicated, gross-total resection of a glioblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case describing the onset of MG during the early postoperative phase after glioblastoma resection. Current criteria of PNS are insufficient when the neurological syndrome is diagnosed at the time of a malignancy or shortly thereafter and should be revisited.
