Dr Farooq Salman,Dr Rabbia Aslam,Dr Muhammad Waqas q

Paraneoplastic encephalitis that is limbic a rare condition, often related to small cellular lung cancer. Case report: We report in this book the cases with various age brackets, which presented with various signs which can be neurological as repetitive seizures or anterograde amnesia. Cerebral CT-scan, cerebral MRI and anti onco-neural paraneoplastic antibodies were suggesting the diagnosis of paraneoplastic encephalitis that is limbic. Etiological exploration triggers the diagnosis of locally advanced cell that is little of this lung. We began rapidly a curative protocol associating chemotherapy and sequential radiotherapy that is thoracic. We insist on the variety of the imaging findings, immunological analyses and conclude on therapy of this entity. Prognostic impact remains also uncertain.
