Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a type of paraneoplastic syndrome that may initially manifest with weakness and gait abnormalities. These symptoms may precede the diagnosis of malignancy by months or years, and morbidity and mortality may be significantly affected by early detection of the malignancy. A case report and review of the diagnosis, management, and treatment of these syndromes are presented, with particular emphasis on the rehabilitation management of these patients, often overlooked in medical treatment. |
