• Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome
• non-paraneoplastic
• pregnancy

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare immune-mediated disorder of neuromuscular junctions. The knowledge of the effects of pregnancy on the course of patients with LEMS is limited. Here we describe a patient without a history of previous known illness who has complained of weakness during the last trimester of her pregnancy, delivered a healthy baby and was diagnosed with non-paraneoplastic LEMS during the postpartum period. With this case we wanted to emphasize the effects of pregnancy on the course of patients with LEMS.
