Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) was originally widely applied in the functional evaluation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), where it became a routine examination of the NMJ diseases such as myasthenia gravis (MG) and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.[2] Since the first description by Mulder et al .
He is currently involved in an ongoing study for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS).
We had nine patients with PNS; two patients had subacute cerebellar degeneration (SCD); three had Stiff-person syndrome (SPS); one had Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS); and the remaining patient had sensory neuropathy (SN).
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare neuromuscular junction disorder resulting from the development of auto-antibodies against voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) in pre-synaptic terminals (1).
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome antibodies (voltage gate calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies) were also negative.
