About
Sara E. Royston is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on the perioperative and anesthetic management of patients with rare and complex neurological conditions. Her major contributions center on elucidating the anesthetic challenges posed by paraneoplastic autoimmune syndromes, particularly Morvan syndrome (MvS). In her most cited case report, Royston provides the first detailed description of the successful administration of general anesthesia for robotic thymectomy in a patient with MvS—a rare disorder characterized by neuromyotonia, autonomic dysfunction, and central nervous system involvement. This work offers critical guidance for anesthesiologists navigating the unique risks of volatile agents, neuromuscular blockers, and perioperative autonomic instability in these patients. While her citation count reflects the niche but essential nature of her research, her report has become a key reference for clinicians encountering MvS in the operating room. Royston’s work exemplifies the importance of meticulous, individualized anesthetic planning for ultra-rare diseases, bridging a significant gap in the literature and improving safety for patients with complex autoimmune neurology.
