Abstract
- Myasthenia gravis is a rare disease entity in Korea, and its occurrence with a thymoma is even rarer. Myasthenia gravis has offered many difficult problems for the anesthesiologist because it affects respiratory muscles frequently and perioperative management of these patients is difficult. The authors aensthetized a patient with myasthenia gravis and thymoma. We report this experience with a brief literature review.
