038 Investigatory imaging in autoimmune-paraneoplastic encephalitis
Conclusion
Body CT was the commonest imaging investigation performed at presentation and only a little over half had further investigations if initial CT was negative. No patient that responded to initial treatment had further investigations to look for an underlying malignancy. There is an urgent need for follow up studies that will inform future imaging criteria for AIE-PNE.
