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.
我们使用改良的奥斯勒曼(Osserman)分类法,将42例伴有胸腺瘤的重症肌无力(MG)患者与42例无胸腺瘤的全身型MG患者进行了比较。两组患者在诊断时、术后6个月以及胸腺切除术后5年和10年时的奥斯勒曼平均分级并无差异。我们的结果表明,胸腺瘤并非MG长期临床预后的负面决定因素。
