- W2085681009 abstract "Abstract Thymectomy was performed on 14 children under 20 years of age with myasthenia gravis during the past 12-years. Objective pre- and postoperative evaluation was accomplished by determining blub ergograph responses, oropharyngeal and general muscle strength and vital capacity. The decision for prophylactic or concomitant tracheostomy was also based on this information. Significant objective improvement following thymectomy occurred in all but one of the patients (Groups A and B). The average age of the patient at the time of thymectomy was 13.3 years and the average duration of symptoms prior to thymectomy was 2.5 years. One child underwent thymectomy at the age of 2.5 years and has experienced substantial improvement (Group B) subsequently. Two patients, each 19 years of age, had a benign thymoma. One of these patients died two years after thymectomy, the only death in the series. The severity of symptoms prior to thymectomy did not influence the clinical response obtained from operation. Postoperative respiratory complications are common and fastidious care is imperative. Thymectomy appears to provide a good opportunity for improvement in symptoms of selected children with myasthenia gravis and may be attended with a low risk of mortality." @default.
