Both myasthenia gravis (MG) and Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) are autoimmune diseases leading to muscle weakness, while the temporal coincidence of MG and GBS is rare. Here, we report a case of MG and GBS, as well as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, for the first time. All these diseases were relieved by immunomodulatory therapy, which suggested abnormal regulation of the autoimmune system might be the cause in our case. In addition, MG was not diagnosed at first from the initial symptom of unilateral lateral rectus muscle palsy.
重症肌无力（MG）和吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）均为导致肌肉无力的自身免疫性疾病，而 MG 和 GBS 的同时发生较为罕见。在此，我们首次报道 1 例 MG 和 GBS 合并桥本甲状腺炎患者。所有这些疾病均通过免疫调节治疗得到缓解，这表明异常的自身免疫调节可能是导致该病例的原因。此外，最初单侧外直肌瘫痪的症状并未诊断出 MG。
