The anisotropies of the microwave background radiation due to gravitational evolution of nonlinear, pancake-type cosmic structures are studied in the framework of the potential approximation method. Simple models of a uniform-density thin collapsing disk and an infinite uniform 'sheet' of matter are investigated. We apply the thin-disk model to the case of highly flattened clusters of galaxies and the infinite-sheet model to the case of the 'Great Wall'. Predicted anisotropies are well below present observational upper limits; in particular, the anisotropy generated by the 'Great Wall' turns out to be less than about 10 exp -6. The lack of increase of microwave background anisotropies from flattened cosmic structures with respect to those generated by spherical ones is mainly due to the fact that, during a pancake-type collapse, the gravitational potential remains non-singular.
