Answer: C
DISCUSSION:
Overall, improvement can be expected in 90% of patients who undergo thymectomy for generalized myasthenia 
gravis. In general, the results are more favorable in patients with mild generalized myasthenia. In patients with only ocular symptoms, the benefit following thymectomy is less clear; improvement is documented in 80%. The response rate is even less (30%) in patients with thymoma. Complete remission occurs in 40% to 50% of patients following thymectomy, and the remainder require some continued medical therapy.Category: Surgery MCQs
