Abstract
Two cases of Lambert-Eaton syndrome are reported, one associated with a small cell lung carcinoma, the other without any etiology at the tim e of the study. None of these cases showed significant titers of calci um channel autoantibodies. The heterogeneity of the Lambert-Eaton synd rome and the responsibility of the autoantibodies detected by immunopr ecipitation of the voltage-gated calcium channel in the occurrence of the neuromuscular block are discussed.
