GÝRÝÞ ve AMAÇ: Non-timomatöz miyastenia gravis hastalarýnda ve kontrol grubunda kontrastsýz toraks bilgisayarlý tomografisi ile anteriyor mediastinal yað dokusu dansitesinin karþýlaþtýrýlmasý.
YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Retrospektif çalýþmamýza klinik olarak miyastenia gravis tanýsý koyulan ve kontrastsýz toraks bilgisayarlý tomografi ile tetkik edilmiþ olan 65 hasta dahil edildi. Hasta grubu ile ayný cinsiyet ve benzer yaþ daðýlýmýnda olan, kontrastsýz toraks bilgisayarlý tomografisi ile tetkik edilmiþ 65 olgudan oluþan kontrol grubu oluþturuldu.
BULGULAR: 65 miyastenia gravis hastasýndan oluþan hasta grubunun anteriyor mediastinal yað dokusu Hounsfield unit deðer ortalamasý ve standart sapmasý -97 ± 37.3; kontrol grubunun ise -121± 37.3 olarak saptandý. Miyastenia gravis hastalarý ve kontrol grubu arasýnda Hounsfield unit deðerleri ve standart sapmalarý arasýnda istatistiksel olarak anlamlý fark izlendi (p=0.01).
TARTIÞMA ve SONUÇ: Miyastenia gravis hastalarýnda anteriyor mediastinal yað dokusu dansitesi kontrol grubuna göre yüksek bulunmuþtur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Timus, miyastenia gravis, bilgisayarlý tomografi

INTRODUCTION: Comparison of anterior mediastinal fat tissue densities between non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis patients and control group with non-contrast thorax computerized tomography.

METHODS: In this retrospective study, 65 patients with myasthenia gravis, who were examined by non-contrast thorax computerized tomography, were included. A control group consisting of 65 patients with the same sex and similar age distribution as the patient group was composed.

RESULTS: Anterior mediastinal fat mass Hounsfield unit average and standard deviation were -97±37.3 for 65 patients with myasthenia gravis and were -121±37.3 for the control group, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between Hounsfield unit values and standard deviations between myasthenia gravis patients and the control group (p=0.01).

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In myasthenia gravis patients, anterior mediastinal fat tissue density was found to be higher than the control group.
