case_images: Chest computed tomography at different time points. In the patient with myasthenia gravis after thymoma surgery, a small left pleural effusion was noted on a transverse axial chest CT during regular follow-up (A, B). According to all examinations, the neurologist thought that the chest tightness was due to the recurrence of myasthenia gravis. Methylprednisolone (40mg per day) combined with gamma globulin (400mg per kg) was given. After three days of treatment, the patient's dyspnea worsened. A chest CT was taken again, showed a new bilateral pleural effusion (C, D).
