myasthenia gravis myasthenia gravÂ·is (grÄv'Ä­s) n. A disease characterized by progressive fatigue and generalized weakness of the skeletal muscles, especially those of the face, neck, arms, and legs, caused by impaired transmission of nerve impulses following an autoimmune attack on acetylcholine receptors. Also called Goldflam disease.
Myasthenia gravis is a condition where muscles become easily tired and weak. It is due to a problem with how the nerves stimulate the muscles to tighten (contract). The muscles around the eyes are commonly affected first. This causes drooping of the eyelid and double vision. Treatment is usually effective. Myasthenia gravis literally means 'grave muscle weakness'.
