Abstract
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic neuromuscular disease with the chief complaints of muscle weakness and generalized fatigue. Many difficult problems may be encountered in the anesthetic management and the postoperative respiratory management. The authors anesthetized 2 cases of myasthenia gravis for thymectomy with success and these experiences are presented in this report with a brief review of the literature relevant to anesthetic management in patients with myasthenia gravis.
