Síndrome miasteniforme de Lambert-Eaton idiopático: Report of one case

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoinmune idiopathic or paraneoplastic syndrome producing antibodies agaisnt presynaptic voltage calcium channels. The clinical features of patients with LEMS are muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. We report a 40 years old man with a four years...

The clinical features of patients with LEMS are muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. We report a 40 years old man with a four years history of proximal weakness, absent tendon reflexes and dry mouth. The diagnosis was confirmed by characteristic electromyographic findings, showing a low-amplitude muscle response that increased dramatically after activation.
