Chorea resulting from paraneoplastic striatal encephalitis.
A 73 year old man presented with progressive choreic movement and dementia. An antineuronal antibody that recognised a 68 kDa band on a western blot was found in the patient's serum; this antibody immunolabelled neuronal somata in rat brain.

or metabolites. The presence of anti-neural antibodies in patients with pns has led to the suggestion that the associated neurologic symptoms are a result of antibody-induced inflammatory reactions3. Because of the infrequent incidence of ple, there is a paucity of literature discussing its diagnosis and management. Here, we describe a case of ple in a male patient, and we discuss the syndrome’...
