Abstract
MRS is useful in revealing muscle lipid composition in MG. In patients with AChR MG, MRS showed increased lipid content in the tongue muscles due to the lipid migration from intra- to extramyocellular space. Finding in patients with MuSK MG might reflect intramyocellular lipid deposition in the tongue. CP decrease in tongue muscles indicated impairment of oxidative metabolism in both AChR MG and MuSK MG.
