Abstract

Autoimmune phenomena are of major importance in the pathogenesis of the main paraneoplastic diseases in humans. The autoimmune process is probably triggered by oncogenic antigens, which are cross-reactive or identical with certain neural antigens. Despite the known pathomechanism these syndromes are still considered as non-treatable. We report two cases of paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, in which intensive immunosuppression with cytostatics lead to considerable neurological improvement.
