replaced by oat-shaped cells, appearing identical to those seen in anaplastic bronchial carcinoma’; no tumour was found in the lungs or elsewhere. Their third patient had ‘an encapsulated mass at the root of the right lung’, which consisted of fi brotic lymph nodes. Although in 1956 Charatan and Brierley [7] had previously reported patients with a ‘mental disorder associated with primary lung c...

Non-paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis

Autoimmune-mediated encephalitis may occur as a paraneoplastic or as a nonparaneoplastic condition. The role of neuroimaging in autoimmune-mediated encephalitis has changed in the last decade partly due to improvements in sequence optimisation and higher field strength and partly due to the discovery of an increasing number of antibodies to neuronal cell and cell membrane antigens. Imaging is i...

Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis Resembling Acute Herpetic Encephalitis

Introduction. Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a rare disorder that typically follows a chronic or subacute course of personality changes, memory loss, seizures, and hallucinations. Early diagnosis is difficult and characteristic symptoms can be mimicked by a variety of conditions. We present a case of PLE, initially presenting as acute herpetic encephalitis. Case Presentation. A 56-...

Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis in Sclc

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’...
