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 withmyasthenia 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 higherthan the control group.en10.14744/hnhj.2018.79663info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle6014952359992
