Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction associated with Eaton Lambert syndrome in a patient with oat cell carcinoma of the lung is reported. Widespread postganglionic adrenergic and cholinergic defects suggested the presence of autonomic neuropathy. Clinical remission accompanied tumor regression after combined chemotherapy and radiation.
