Anti-Hu Associated Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration and Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Paraneoplastic syndromes are rarely associated with gastric cancer. There are previous reports of anti-Yo and anti-Ri associated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) and gastric malignancies. We present a man who developed PCD associated with anti-Hu antibodies and gastric adenocarcinoma. Our case expands the clinical spectrum of malignancies associated with anti-Hu antibodies and PCD.
