Vaginal Hysterectomy by Epidural Anesthesia Combined with Low Dose Propofol in a Patient with Myasthenia Gravis

Abstract

Abstract

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness and early fatigue. Although muscle weakness most frequently affects ocular muscles, its effects on the respiratory muscles lead to a serious condition. Because surgery and stress in particular exacerbate the disease, perfect anesthesia is very important. A case of mystenia gravis who underwent vaginal hysterectomy with epidural anesthesia has been presented.
