Difference in Distribution of Muscle Weakness Between Myasthenia Gravis and the Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
JNNP 73:766-768, Wirtz,P.W.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In a patient suspected to have a myasthenic syndrome whose first symptom is ocular weakness, LEMS is virtually excluded. Limb weakness confined to the arms is only found in generalized myasthenia gravis and not in LEMS. Muscle weakness in myasthenia gravis tends to develop in a craniocaudal direction, and in the opposite direction in LEMS.
