Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Nervous System

2003
In patients with cancer the development of neurological symptoms usually represents metastatic involvement of the nervous system, or complications secondary to coagulopathy, infection, metabolic and nutritional deficits, and toxic effects of cancer therapy (1).

[Paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system].

La Clinica terapeutica, 2000
Paraneoplastic syndromes of central nervous system are rare neurologic syndromes caused by cancer but not secondary to metastases. The physiopathologic mechanisms underlying these syndromes are still under debate. We report the biological and clinical features of the most frequent paraneoplastic syndromes involving the central nervous system.

Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Presenting As a Paraneoplastic Syndrome With Acute Central Nervous System Demyelination

Clinical Lymphoma Myeloma and Leukemia, 2014
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lym-phoma (SLL) is a mature B-cell neoplasm characterized by accu-mulation of functionally incompetent clonal lymphocytes with thesame morphologic and immunophenotypic features. CLL and SLLhave the same cellular basis but SLL lacks significant peripheralblood (PB) lymphocytosis. CLL is the most common

Paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the nervous system.

Seminars in oncology, 1997
Paraneoplastic syndromes can affect virtually any portion of the nervous system. Most paraneoplastic syndromes are believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction to an "onconeural" antigen shared by the cancer and the nervous system. The immune reaction may retard growth of the cancer, but it also damages the nervous system.

Autonomic nervous system involvement in autoimmune encephalitis and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes

Revue Neurologique
In autoimmune neurological diseases, the autonomic nervous system can be the primary target of autoimmunity (e.g. autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy), or, more frequently, be damaged together with other areas of the nervous system (e.g. Guillain-Barré syndrome).

Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Nervous System as Complications of Cancer

2017
In patients with cancer the development of neurological symptoms usually represents metastatic involvement of the nervous system or complications secondary to coagulopathy, infection, metabolic and nutritional deficits, and toxic effects of cancer therapy.

Topical Review Article: Nervous System Dysfunction in Children With Paraneoplastic Syndromes

Journal of Child Neurology, 1992
Paraneoplastic syndromes are complexes of symptoms and signs that occur in association with cancer and that are unexplained by the known anatomic and physiologic characteristics of the tumor. Many of these syndromes are neurologic in nature or have consequences for the central or peripheral nervous system.

Autoimmune paraneoplastic syndromes associated to lung cancer: A systematic review of the literature Part 4: Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes, involving the peripheral nervous system and the neuromuscular junction and muscles

Lung Cancer, 2017
The development of new immune treatment in oncology and particularly for lung cancer may induce new complications, particularly activation or reactivation of auto-immune diseases. In this context, a systematic review on the auto-immune paraneoplastic syndromes that can complicate lung cancer appears useful.

Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Central Nervous System

1984
The term paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) includes muscular, peripheral and central nervous disorders arising in relation to malignancies, but resulting neither from direct infiltration by malignancies nor establishment of metastases. On the contrary, they are regarded as indirect sequelae.

Isolated Central Nervous System Relapse in an Adolescent With Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia, Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome, and Paraneoplastic Autoantibody

Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, 2010
A 17-year-old boy, with acute myelomonocytic leukemia and inversion 16(p13q22) developed polyneuropathy and isolated central nervous system relapse. Scoliosis and high-arched feet suggested a diagnosis of Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) syndrome and genetic testing confirmed duplication at the PMP22 locus at chromosome 17p11.12.
