Abstract

<p><strong><em>Background</em></strong><strong><em> and Objectives</em></strong><strong>:</strong> Anesthesia management in myasthenia gravis is a great challenge for all anesthesiologists. In this disease, even small doses of muscle relaxants could lead to delayed recovery for respiratory muscles. <strong><em>Case Report: </em></strong>In this report we introduced our anesthetic regimen for a patient who was brought to the operation room for thymectomy. For anesthetic management of such patients, non muscle relaxant technique (NMRT) is recommended.</p><p> </p>
