ABSTRACT
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease resulting from the production of antibodies against acetylcholine receptors of the endplate. These antibodies impair postjunctional membrane and reduce the number of functional acetylcholine receptors of endplate. Thymectomy is an effective therapeutic method for adult myasthenic patients. In this paper, the author reviewed the pathophysiological characteristics and problems related to anesthesia, such as preoperative evaluation, the effect of preoperative medical treatment on the anesthesia, patients'response to muscle relaxants and postoperative management.
