AI Article Synopsis
- Paraneoplastic neurologic degeneration (PND) is a sudden or subacute neurological syndrome associated with underlying cancer, which can be either obvious or hidden.
- A specific type of PND, called subacute paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), is important but rare, and early diagnosis can improve patient outcomes for both neurological symptoms and cancer treatment.
- The text discusses a case study of a 61-year-old patient who was found to have subacute cerebellar degeneration, leading to the discovery of non-small cell lung carcinoma.
Article Abstract
Paraneoplastic neurologic degeneration (PND) manifests as a sudden or subacute neurological syndrome often linked to underlying cancer, either overt or subclinical. Within the spectrum of PND, subacute paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) represents a distinctive subset. While rare, prompt diagnosis holds the potential to ameliorate both neurological and oncological outcomes. Herein, we present the case of a 61-year-old patient diagnosed with subacute cerebellar degeneration, ultimately unveiling non-small cell lung carcinoma.
