Abstract

Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes are rare, often associated with gynecological cancer or small cell lung cancer. This article reports a case of ovarian cancer to discuss the difficulties in the management of neurological paraneoplastic syndromes.

This is a case of paraneoplastic cerebellar syndrome with anti-Yo antibodies. Neurological syndromes, testing for onconeural antibodies and testing for underlying cancer provide a basis for the diagnosis. The anti-tumor treatment constitutes the mainstay of the care.
