| Eaton-Lambert s. |
an autoimmune, myasthenialike syndrome caused by autoantibodies to the voltage-gated calcium channel (anna 1 antibodies) that interfere with the release of acetylcholine at the motor nerve terminal. Weakness usually affects the limbs, but ocular and bulbar muscles are spared; there is reduced muscle action potential on stimulation of its nerve but with repetitive stimulation it becomes augmented. It is often associated with oat-cell carcinoma of the lung. Called also Lambert-Eaton s., Lambert-Eaton myasthenic s., and myasthenic s.
