Article Synopsis
- - Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare disorders caused by immune reactions to cancers, posing diagnostic challenges, particularly with conditions like motor neuron disease tied to gastrointestinal cancers.
- - A 62-year-old man with type 2 diabetes presented with severe limb weakness and diarrhea, initially misdiagnosed as diabetic neuropathy; tests revealed motor sensory axonal neuropathy linked to sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma.
- - The patient underwent surgery and treatment, stabilizing his neurological symptoms, emphasizing the need to consider PNS in patients with unexplained neurological issues and the importance of early recognition and a team-based treatment approach.
