Abstract

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune neurologic disease with impaired transmission across neuromuscular junction, and . LEMS is thought to be caused by antibodies directed against presynaptic P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), most likely associated with small cell lung cancers (SCLC) , and . LEMS shares clinical features with myasthenia gravis; patients usually experience cranial, limb fluctuating weakness and autonomic signs , and . Neurologic symptoms precede or concur with cancer diagnosis , and . This 40 year old woman experienced (September 2006) dry mouth, fluctuating fatiguability.
