Abstract

Since the major role of the thymus in the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis was recently established, early thymectomy has been generally considered to be the treatment of choice for generalized myasthenia gravis. It is well known, however, that postoperative morbidity is not low often requiring intensive care for several days and symptoms fluctuate greatly for many months. Improvement may often take many years and most patients continue to require anticholinesterase drugs.

To minimize the morbidity, preoperative steroid therapy has been recommended and proved to be useful.
