  • Title: The long-term clinical outcome of myasthenia gravis in patients with thymoma.
    Author: Bril V, Kojic J, Dhanani A.
    Journal: Neurology; 1998 Oct; 51(4):1198-200. PubMed ID: 9781560.
    Abstract:
    We compared 42 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with thymoma with 42 generalized MG patients without thymoma using a modified Osserman classification. The mean Osserman grades at diagnosis, 6 months, and 5 and 10 years post-thymectomy did not differ between groups. Our results indicate that thymoma is not a negative determinant for the long-term clinical outcome of MG.
