| Description |
Anti-Ma2 paraneoplastic syndrome is characterized by limbic, diencephalic or brainstem encephalitis, alone or in combination, with oculomotor deficits in 92% of patients with brainstem dysfunction. In young males, this syndrome is highly associated with germ cell tumors, and commonly presents with MRI abnormalities as well as abnormal CSF and EEG atudies. The recommended management approach includes treatment of the underlying malignancy as well as immunotherapy, with neurologic stabilization or improvement in approximately 54% of patients. |
