A speciality clinic for Myasthenia Gravis and Myasthenic Syndromes has recently been established at Concord Repatriation and General Hospital, Sydney. This is one of several specialty neuromuscular disorders clinics run by the Department of Neurology.
Ph: 02 9767 6416
Fax: 02 9767 7807
Particular aspects that this clinic is focused on are:
- Ensuring that the diagnosis is secure, given that the treatments used in MG can have significant side effects.
- The diagnosis of variants of MG, including anti-Musk MG, seronegative MG and Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes.
- Treating the disorder while minimising side effects, especially as MG treatment is for the long term.
- There are several treatment questions that need to be answered in international treatment trials and interested patients who are willing could participate through the clinic.
