A 35-year-old patient presents to the emergency department with progressive muscle weakness and double vision that worsens with activity. Which condition is most likely involved in this clinical scenario?
The clinical presentation aligns with an autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness that exacerbates with exertion, which is a hallmark of myasthenia gravis. Other choices, while related to muscle and nerve function, do not typically present in this pattern. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis can cause weakness, but they are more associated with sensory deficits and visual problems due to white matter lesions.
