About

Anna De Rosa is a neurologist whose work bridges the clinical and surgical management of autoimmune neuromuscular disease, with a particular focus on myasthenia gravis (MG). Her research centers on the pathophysiology of MG—an autoimmune disorder driven by antibodies that disrupt neuromuscular junction transmission, causing debilitating muscle weakness and fatigue—and the role of thymic pathology in its onset. De Rosa’s most cited work, “Endoscopic thymectomy: a neurologist’s perspective” (2016, 13 citations), offers a critical clinical lens on thymectomy as a therapeutic intervention, emphasizing how early surgical removal of the thymus can alter disease progression. By integrating neurological insight with surgical strategy, she has helped clarify patient selection criteria and postoperative outcomes, advancing a multidisciplinary approach to MG care. Though her citation count is modest, her contributions are notable for their translational relevance, guiding both neurologists and surgeons in optimizing treatment pathways. De Rosa’s perspective underscores the importance of understanding thymic-driven autoimmunity, making her a valuable voice in the evolving landscape of neuromuscular medicine.
