| Description |
Acquired downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is commonly caused by lesions involving the cerebellum and the craniocervical junction. The primary causes of DBN are Arnold Chiari malformations and spinocerebellar degenerations. DBN can also be secondary to paraneoplastic syndromes caused by lung and fallopian tube malignancies. We present a patient with DBN and ataxia secondary to a paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration caused by metastatic prostatic carcinoma. The purkinje cell antibodies were markedly elevated at 1:30720. To our knowledge this the first reported case of paraneoplastic DBN associated with prostate cancer. |
