RESUMEN
A 45-year-old-man presented with severe vomiting, constipation, abdominal distention and bilateral ocular abductor palsy. Evaluation revealed diffuse autonomic dysfunction characterized by intestinal pseudo-obstruction, xerophthalmia, xerostomia, postural hypotension, erectile dysfunction and loss of sinus arrhythmia. Paraneoplastic work-up revealed thymoma. Most symptoms resolved after surgical removal of the thymoma. Six weeks later he developed worsening of external ophthalmoparesis with ptosis, responding to acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, confirming myasthenia gravis.
