Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease that is known to be accompanied by various complications. But the relationship between these complications and MG and the treatment for these complications still partly remain unknown. We report two cases of MG with unusual complications. The first one is a case of a 72-year-old woman with lingual dyskinesia, and the second is a 28-year-old man with dysgeusia. Both symptoms improved in parallel after the treatment of MG. Here we report these cases and review similar cases in the literature.
