| Description | Thymectomy is an established treatment for seropositive（ACh-R antibodies positive）
myasthenia gravis（MG）in younger patients, but an review described the effectiveness of thymectomy without thymoma remains as uncertain. To investigate the clinical course of MG in association with thymus and to develop a better strategy for MG treatment, we reviewed 101 MG patients who had taken therapies in our hospital between 1986 and 2006. Recently, late-onset MG patients had increased. A few MG patients without thymoma, in particular, hyperplasia had good clinical courses after thymectomy. So, we can’t exclude thymectomy from therapeutic options in patients without thymoma. We should select an appropriate strategy for individual cases, because MG has heterogeneous characters with in age at onset, thymic changes, and patterns of muscle weakness. |
