- Abstract
- "Myasthenia gravis (MG) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are relatively rare autoimmune diseases. There were a few reports that the incidence of NMO appeared higher in patients with MG than inpatients without MG. The coexistence of MG and NMO suggests a common immunologicalpathogenesis. A thymectomy may plays a vital role in the development of NMO in MG patients. Wereport a case of NMO occurred in a thymectomized MG. Journal of Multiple Sclerosis 3(2):51-54, 2012"
