title: [Surgical treatment of children with generalized myasthenia].
abstract: The rich experience in the country in surgical treatment of children with generalized myasthenia has been analysed. The comparative analysis of various means of preoperative preparation is done. Stabilisation of myasthenical status is very important in the preoperative preparation, the use of steroid hormones is advocated for this purpose. The indications, contraindications, as well as the scope and optimal timing of surgery are formulated. Two types of clinical and immunomorphological changes are depicted in children with generalized myasthenia that are of certain prognostic value. The rating of risk factors, useful for prognosis of unfavorable results of surgery is proposed.
