Zusammenfassung

Paraneoplastische neurologische Syndrome (PNS) sind sehr seltene tumorassoziierte Erkrankungen, denen vermutlich ein Autoimmunprozess zugrunde liegt. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit werden aktuelle Aspekte zur Klassifikation und Pathophysiologie dieser Syndrome, ihren assoziierten Antikörpern, den zugrunde liegenden Tumoren sowie zu Diagnostik und Behandlungsoptionen zusammengefasst. Ein Schwerpunkt wird auf die Syndrome des zentralen Nervensystems gelegt.

Summary

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are very rare, remote effects of malignancies. Well-characterised antibodies against intracellular neuronal antigens are well-known in association with distinct tumors and with classical and non-classical syndromes. In this review article the current aspects of classification, pathophysiology, underlying tumors, antineuronal autoantibodies and diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of syndromes affecting the central nervous system are summarized.
