[Motor activity of the small and large intestines of patients with the generalized form of myasthenia (an x-ray study)].
The author studied the intestinocolonic function by X-ray methods in 84 patients with generalized myasthenia prior to and following surgical treatment (thymectomia). It was established that in myasthenia the intestinal motor function in the majority of the patients is decreased. These motor disorders have a functional character and are connected with the main disease. They disappear after operations as the function of the cross-sectional striped and smooth muscles are restituted.
