Abstract

Extended transsternal thymectomy was carried out in 10 patients with myasthenia gravis. There were 2 males and 8 females. Thymic hyperplasia was found in 7patients, athrophic thymus in 1 and thymoma in 2. In the nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis patients complete remission was achieved in 4 patients (40%), pharmacological remission in 3 patients (30 %) and improvement in 1 patient (10%). One patient (10%) with thymoma died because of respiratory failure. Another patient (10%) with thymoma has improved. In conclusion, clinical improvement was obtained in 90% of our patients following extended transsternal thymectomy.
