Neuromuscular syndromes following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), although occasionally described,were not the focus of studies concerning neurologic complications following bone marrow transplantation. In this study,we summarize different polyneuropathy syndromes following BMT and report on patients with myasthenia gravis and inflammatory neuromuscular disorders such as myositis or fasciitis. Concerning the etiology of neuropathies, a neurotoxicity of immunosuppressants,a preexisting disorder due to the underlying disease as well as an association with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is discussed.GVHD-associated polyneuropathies as well as muscular complications have been found to occur during the early BMT phase, while myasthenia gravis is a late neurologic complication of GVHD.

D009157 Myasthenia Gravis A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by fatigable weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles with elevated titers of ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS or muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations may include ocular muscle weakness (fluctuating, asymmetric, external ophthalmoplegia; diplopia; ptosis; and weakness of eye closure) and extraocular fatigable weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles (ocular myasthenia). THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition.

D011115 Polyneuropathies Diseases of multiple peripheral nerves simultaneously. Polyneuropathies usually are characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. The pathological processes affecting peripheral nerves include degeneration of the axon, myelin or both. The various forms of polyneuropathy are categorized by the type of nerve affected (e.g., sensory, motor, or autonomic), by the distribution of nerve injury (e.g., distal vs. proximal), by nerve component primarily affected (e.g., demyelinating vs. axonal), by etiology, or by pattern of inheritance.
