Fifty-six board-certified neurologists with interest and expertise in myasthenia completed a survey of indications for thymectomy in myasthenia gravis. Thymectomy was advocated for virtually all patients with thymoma, for a variable subset of patients with generalized myasthenia without thymoma, and occasionally for selected patients with disabling ocular myasthenia.
56名对重症肌无力有兴趣且具备专业知识的经委员会认证的神经科医生完成了一项关于重症肌无力胸腺切除术适应症的调查。几乎所有胸腺瘤患者都主张进行胸腺切除术,对于一部分无胸腺瘤的全身型重症肌无力患者,胸腺切除术的主张情况不一,而对于某些患有致残性眼肌型重症肌无力的患者偶尔也主张进行胸腺切除术。
