| Description |
A disorder resembling myasthenia gravis, occurring in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, was first described by Anderson et al. in 1953. During the next decade, Eaton, Lambert, Rooke, and their associates at the Mayo Clinic studied the clinical and physiologic characteristics of this disorder in 30 patients. These investigators concluded that it was associated with failure of neuromuscular junction transmission but was distinct from myasthenia gravis. |
