The Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome

, 2013
The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction. The main symptom in LEMS is proximal muscle weakness in the legs, which is the presenting symptom in most patients. Autonomic dysfunction is also part of the clinical spectrum.

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome in Lung Cancer. [PDF]

Contrast Media Mol Imaging, 2022
The aim is to study lung cancer with Lambert‐Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) with clinical and electrical characteristics of physiology and prognosis. Fourteen LEMS patients with lung cancer were studied retrospectively. The data including demographics, clinical presentation, treatments, and prognosis from the medical records were analyzed.

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1999
SummaryThe Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder characterised by defective neurotransmitter release at autonomic neurones and presynaptic terminals of the neuromuscular junction. It is caused by an IgG autoantibody formed against especially the P/Q type of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) which is an essential component of

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome

BMJ Case Reports
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a disorder of neuromuscular transmission in which an autoantibody is directed against the pre-synaptic calcium channel. It presents with proximal limb weakness, greater in the legs, with or without peripheral and autonomic neuropathy. Bulbar involvement is rare and fatigueability is not a feature.
