Analysis of Small Cell Lung Cancer with Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis
Conclusion Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome in nervous system caused by malignant neoplasms often characterized by facial neurological symptoms. The disease are usually associated with lung cancer (especially SCLC). Its nervous system symptoms occur earlier than the tumor diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment for primary tumors will increase the benefit.
