A case of thyroid follicular carcinoma with paraneoplastic polyneuropathy, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 3
Abstract
Patients with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) have a variety of neurological symptoms that are considered to be triggered by autoimmune mechanisms. The current valid opinion for the pathogenesis is that an autoimmune response caused by similar antigenic properties in the underlying tumor and the nervous system is responsible for the emergence of PNS. We present a case a patient with follicular thyroid cancer who had a combination of symptoms due to paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and paraneoplastic polyneuropathy.
