Case Series: Clinical Impact of Plasmapheresis and Thymectomy on Early-Onset Myasthenia Gravis

We describe clinical features and postoperative data and evaluate the clinical outcome after thymectomy. Muscle strength was assessed by the Medical Research Council scale. Evaluation of clinical stage before and after thymectomy were carri ed out with the modified Osserman classification. All patients showed improvement (100%) in the clinical grade of the modified Osserman classification: 3 patients were in the complete remission category and 2 patients were in the improved category. All patients with general weakness experienced impr ovement in muscle strength at the 1-year evaluation.Case Rep Neurol 2021;13:1 –8
