Multiple neurological syndromes during Hodgkin lymphoma remission

Acta Neurol Belg. 2005 Mar;105(1):48-50.

Abstract

We report a young patient who developed a stiff man syndrome (SMS) long after remission of Hodgkin lymphoma. This patient is remarkable because he has had several other potentially autoimmune or paraneoplastic neurological syndromes including limbic encephalitis and demyelinating polyneuropathy which also occurred years after remission from Hodgkin disease.
