The immunopathogenesis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes.
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are rare non-metastatic complications of cancer that have an immune-mediated aetiology. The central and peripheral nervous systems are considered to be immune-privileged sites, since the presence of the 'blood-brain/nerve barrier' means that antigens sequestered within the nervous system do not normally induce an immune response. Aberrant expression of a ne...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes associated with anti-Hu antibodies
Paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs) are syndromes that develop in cancer patients when an efficient antitumor immune response, directed against antigens expressed by both malignant cells and healthy neurons, damages the nervous system. Herein, we analyze existing data on the mechanisms of loss of self tolerance and nervous tissue damage that underpin one of the most frequent PNDs, the ...
متن کاملParaneoplastic cerebellar ataxia and the paraneoplastic syndromes.
Paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia, also known as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, is one of the wide array of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes in which neurological symptoms are indirectly caused by an underlying malignancy, most commonly gynecological, breast, or lung cancer or Hodgkin's lymphoma. We describe a patient with severe cerebellar dysfunction attributed to a paraneoplasti...
