The clinical, radiological, and histopathologic findings of the patient are presented. A 49-year-old woman presented with a history of progressive asthenia of the lower extremities persisting for 2 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although their presentations vary, syndromes occur when tumor antigens exhibit cross-reactivity to similar antigens expressed by these systems. The antigens in the nervous system are called "onconeural" antigens.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of occult breast cancer presenting as paraneoplastic sensory and motor neuropathy. The paraneoplastic antibody panel was negative and no other unknown identifiable antibody could be detected in the serum.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present here the first known case of anti-Hu seropositivity, cerebellar ataxia, and sensory neuropathy in association with cervical cancer.[jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
The findings elucidate the clinical evolution of paraneoplastic cerebellar syndrome according to the onconeural antibodies present, the heterogeneity and prognosis of dysautonomic disorders, and the clinical variability of paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It usually affects patients younger than four years of age, and presents with sudden development of staggering and falling (ataxia) often followed by body jerks, drooling, refusal to walk or sit, opsoclonus, irritability and sleep disburbances.[rarediseases.org]

This part of the brain is involved in memory, emotion and behavior, and controls reactions of fear and anger. It can also involve the emotions of sexual behavior.[rarediseases.org]
We report the case of a 69-year-old man who initially presented with weakness and spasticgait. He was subsequently found to have a characteristic paraneoplastic tractopathy on thoracic magnetic resonance imaging.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The subsequent workup and operative intervention identified a T2N0M0 SCC of the tonsil. Following resection, the patient's overall symptoms were significantly alleviated, and his gait improved.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An anteriormediastinalmass detected on a chest computed tomographic scan was found on resection to be a noninvasive lymphocytic thymoma. The PNNS went into remission 1 year after the thymectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The role of systemic treatment in the progression of neurologic impairment is unclear.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tumor removal is still the therapeutic mainstay with very early treatment being essential to prevent irreversible neuronal loss. Immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory treatments are often ineffective.[en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment • two treatment approaches • removal of the source of the antigen by treatment of the underlying tumor, and, • suppression of the immune response • Overall results disappointing in majority. 10:41 PM 83.[slideshare.net]
Tumors are the main cause of death, but some types of PNS (such as dysautonomia) have a poorer prognosis than malignant neoplasms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis for persons with paraneoplastic syndromes depends on the specific type of PS, and the progression of the underlying cancer.[encyclopedia.com]
Diagnostic criteria of PNSs The presence of a neurological syndrome of unclear etiology at the time of the diagnosis of a tumor does not necessarily mean that the neurological syndrome is paraneoplastic, as this could represent the coincidental occurrence[bloodjournal.org]
If the detected antibody usually does not associate with the patient’s neurologic syndrome, other etiologies for the neurologic dysfunction should be considered.[clinicalgate.com]
Therefore, for the clinician, markers are important which on the one hand prove the paraneoplastic etiology of the given neurological syndrome, and on the other hand help to diagnose the associated tumor.[degruyter.com]

Pathophysiology Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is caused by the secondary effects of cancer and is believed to be immune mediated.[emedicine.com]
However, pathophysiological outcomes usually arise from when a tumor arises. Paraneoplastic syndrome often occurs alongside associated cancers as a result of activated immune systems.[en.wikipedia.org]
