ABSTRACT This historical review describes the contribution of Drs. Lee M. Eaton and Edward H. Lambert to the diagnosis of myasthenic syndrome on the 60th anniversary of their pioneering article (JAMA 1957) on the disease. There are important landmarks in their article on a disorder of the neuromuscular junction associated with thoracic neoplasm and the electrophysiological criteria for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). After 60 years, the main electrophysiological criteria described in Eaton and Lambert's pioneering article are still currently useful in the diagnosis of LEMS.
RESUMO Essa revisão histórica enfatiza a contribuição do Dr Lee M Eaton e do Dr Edward H. Lambert para o diagnóstico da síndrome miastênica no 60o aniversário do seu artigo pioneiro (JAMA 1957) para essa doença. Existem importantes marcos no artigo de Eaton e Lambert, como uma desordem da junção neuromuscular associada à neoplasia torácica e critério diagnóstico para síndrome miastênica de Lambert-Eaton (LEMS). Após 60 anos, os principais critérios diagnósticos descritos para LEMS no artigo pioneiro de Eaton e Lambert continuam úteis no diagnóstico da LEMS.
