Abstract
- In one case of cancer-associated Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy resulted in remission of both cancer and neuromuscular disorder. Serial repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) findings showed that the typical RNS features of LEMS returned to normal in the orders of dramatic postexercise facilitation, an incremental response in high rate stimulation, and a decremental response in low rate stimulation with clinical improvement.
