TARGONSKA, Bogna; FROST, Jamie e PRABHU, Sanjay. Anti-Ma2-antibody-associated encephalitis: An atypical paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v22i1.1310.
Paraneoplastic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of conditions affecting cancer patients, where the signs and symptoms are not owing to the local effects of the tumour but instead owing to humoral or immunologic effects. We describe an unusual presentation of a paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome presenting with predominant involvement of the hypothalamus and deep grey nuclei secondary to an anterior mediastinal germinoma and associated with anti-Ma2 antibody.
