What would be the reason of removing the thymus gland of myasthenia gravis patient?
Mysthenia Gravis (MG) is a disease mediated by antibodies which attack the receptors on muscles and decreases their ability to contract (to be stimulated to contract actually). The thymus gland is an organ involved with the maturation of T-lymphocytes which are involved in the production of antibodies. An association with tumors of the thymus gland and the onset of myasthenia gravis was noted and removal of thymomas has been shown to be effective in treating MG. Extending from this knowledge surgeons have removed normal appearing thymus glands in patients with MG and this has been proven in some large studies to be effective in decreasing the severity of myathenia gravis over the long term.
