Paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis (PEM) is an indirect result of malignancy. In more than 50% of cases, it is associated with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The majority of patients present with sensory symptoms.Isolated diplopia, nystagmus, opsoclonus and other signs indicative of brain stem pathology are seen in 6-11% of cases and are typically associated with anti-ri or anti-yo antibodies.Treatment for PEM includes immunotherapy, with variable outcomes; in some patients, treatment of the underlying cancer leads to resolution of of the paraneoplastic symptoms. |
