Abstract
We describe a patient with a paraneoplastic brain-stem encephalitis due to an occult small cell carcinoma of the lung. He developed episodes of central sleep apnoea culminating in acute respiratory failure. Antibodies resembling anti-Hu antibodies were demonstrated in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
