Yale Neurology in the News!

Yale Neurology was recently featured in an article in The New York Times by Dr. Lisa Sanders as part of her popular “Diagnosis” column. In the article she describes a 95 year-old woman who presented with dysarthria, dysphagia and double vision. Her story was a bit complex with multiple red herrings, and it was initially suspected that she may have suffered a stroke. Through the good instincts, dedication and persistence of several of our residents and faculty, she was ultimately diagnosed with myasthenia graves and treated appropriately. Dr. Paul Sanmartin, a PGY-3 resident in the program, was featured prominently in the article, as was one of Yale’s neuromuscular faculty members, Dr. Richard Nowak.
