Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes of central nervous system

Paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system usually starting with subacute disease course require prompt diagnosis, which significantly influences therapeutical outcome. Knowledge of clinical pattern, associated onconeural antibodies and tumours may help with the early diagnosis. We present the profile of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system within this continuously expanding disease group.

Keywords: paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system, onconeural antibodies, clinical pattern, diagnostics and treatment.
