title: Malignant lymphoma of the central nervous system presenting with central neurogenic hyperventilation. Case report.
abstract: The case is described of a 72-year-old woman who presented with a progressive right hemiparesis and central neurogenic hyperventilation. Pathological and radiological studies revealed diffuse infiltration of a malignant lymphoma into the entire central nervous system and the upper spinal cord. The authors review 12 cases of tumor-induced central neurogenic hyperventilation and discuss the pathophysiology of this condition.
