ABSTRACT
O presente artigo descreve uma série de 9 casos de pacientes, de sexo feminino, idade de 31 a 56 anos, com diagnóstico de tireoidite autoimune, cujos títulos de anticorpos antitireoidianos diminuíram ou negativaram depois de ratamento homeopático. Além disso, em alguns casos foi possível recuperar o equilíbrio funcional da glândula. O acompanhamento foi variável, de 30 dias até 18 anos.

It is well-known that anesthesia and surgery may precipitate muscle weakness in the patients with myasthenia gravis and some patient were not recognized as myasthenia until such episodes. A 74-year-old woman with increased sensitivity to pancuronium who, in spite of the very high titer of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies, showed no clinical manifestation of myasthenia gravis before operation. And computed tomographies revealed the presence of a thymoma in her anterior mediastinum. Although we have performed extended thymectomy, ptosis appeared 4 month after the operation. This patient might be called as "premyasthenic state" or "subclinical MG".
