Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare disorder of nerve-muscle (neuromuscular) junction. Anderson was the first person to mention a case with possible clinical findings of LEMS in 1953, but Lambert, Eaton and Rooke were the first physicians to substantially describe the clinical and electrophysiological findings of the disease in 1966. Both the etiology and the clinical findings of the disease may resemble myasthenia gravis, but there are many substantial differences between clinical presentations and pathogenetic features of two disorders. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lambert-Eaton_myasthenic_syndrome   (500 words)

Causes of Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic syndrome Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an uncommon neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness in muscles of the upper arms and upper legs, and less commonly, muscles of the neck, speech, swallowing, breathing and eye movement. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is associated in 40% of cases with cancer, most often with small cell cancer of the lung and less often with other tumors. - Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an uncommon neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness in muscles of the upper arms and upper legs. neurology.health-cares.net /lems-causes.php   (269 words)

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Lambert-Eaton Syndrome Lambert-Eaton syndrome (myasthenic syndrome) is a disorder with symptoms very similar to those of myasthenia gravis. In Lambert-Eaton syndrome, however, the signal distortion is caused by an insufficient release of neurotransmitter by the nerve cell. Lambert-Eaton syndrome is characterized by muscle weakness that improves with continued contraction of the muscle. www.nlm.nih.gov /medlineplus/ency/article/000710.htm   (484 words)

Patient Resources Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a syndrome of weakness and fatigue often associated with cancer, particularly lung cancer.

Disease - Eaton-Lambert Syndrome Eaton-Lambert myasthenic syndrome (ELMS) is an autoimmune-mediated disorder of the neuromuscular junction. A very important part of the diagnostic workup of Eaton-Lambert syndrome is related to the observation that almost half of the patients have or may develop an underlying cancer, most commonly a small-cell cancer of the lungs. This syndrome is rare and, unlike myasthenia gravis which affects mostly women, primarily affects men over the age of 40. disability.ucdavis.edu /resources/diseases/list/disease.asp?id=23   (668 words)
