ABSTRACT
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is characterized clinically by fluctuating muscular weakness; presentation with ocular symptoms is unusual. A 60-year-old man had developed diplopia and ptosis 2 years previously. The findings of a neurologic examination were normal except for bilateral ptosis and ophthalmoplegia. The amplitude of compound muscle action potentials recorded on the abductor digiti minimi increased (by more than 500%) during 50-Hz stimulation. This case demonstrates that LEMS should be included in the differential diagnosis of myasthenic symptom confined to the ocular muscles.
