Among muscular dystrophies, the co\u2010occurrence of MG with FSHD is the most common, representing a non\u2010negligible \u201cdouble trouble\u201d. Here, we aim to describe a series of patients with coexistence of these two rare disorders and combine this with a review of the literature to identify common elements which might provide useful clues when evaluating a FSHD patient with uncommon clinical presentation compatible with MG.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively collected demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients affected by both FSHD and MG followed at the Nice University Center, and we performed a review of the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified 10 patients in our cohort, 7 females.

The mean age of onset of MG was 68.5 \u00b1\u20097.6\u2009years; all patients presented with anti\u2010AChR antibodies and without thymic pathology, and MG appeared in all but two patients after FSHD.
