  • Title: Current concepts in the surgical treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis.
    Author: Gallagher DM, Erickson KL, Genkins G.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1981 Jan; 39(1):30-4. PubMed ID: 6935401.
    Abstract:
    Patients undergoing surgical treatment often have concurrent diseases. An in-depth understanding of such diseases permits the dentist to initiate treatment with minimal risk to the patient. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is one such disease; it is characterized by various degrees of muscle weakness and fatigue. Many of the physical signs and symptoms affect the oral and facial musculature. A review of the symptoms, etiology, and treatment of myasthenia gravis, with special reference to the patient undergoing surgical treatment, is presented.
