| Description |
We describe a case of an elderly man with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, presenting with paraneoplastic Anti-Hu and Anti-CV2 positive encephalitis. He had both cerebellar ataxia and sensory ataxia, likely from the paraneoplastic induced cerebellar degeneration and sensory ganglionopathy, respectively. We describe the patient history, examination findings, including pertinent oculomotor abnormalities, and general management for these kinds of patients. We further discuss paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and autoimmune encephalitis as it relates to ataxia. |
