A patient with LEMS unrelated to cancer was studied by stimulated single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) before and 3 months after the onset of therapy with 3,4-diaminopyridine. All end-plates showed a progressive reduction in blockings and jitter with the increase in stimulation rate. Treatment significantly corrected this feature, but the overall pattern of frequency-improved jitter remained. Such widespread finding is rare but diagnostic for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome. Stimulated SFEMG can be used to monitor therapy in such patients.
一名与癌症无关的兰伯特-伊顿肌无力综合征(LEMS)患者,在接受3,4-二氨基吡啶治疗前及治疗开始3个月后,接受了单纤维肌电图(SFEMG)检查。随着刺激频率增加,所有终板的阻滞和颤抖均呈进行性减少。治疗显著纠正了这一特征,但频率改善的颤抖总体模式仍然存在。这种广泛存在的表现虽罕见,但对兰伯特-伊顿肌无力综合征具有诊断意义。刺激SFEMG可用于监测此类患者的治疗情况。
