Abstract
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease affecting the neuro muscuar junction, the pathology of which is known to be the presence of auto antibodies directed against the Acetyl Choline receptors which essentially destroys it. Anasthesia in the affected is a challenge irrespective of pre existing weakness as there is always a risk of peri operative exacerbation. In this case report we present the case of a young female who had been administered with subarachanoid block for lower segment Cesarean section and had an uneventful outcome.
