title: Immune diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurological disease.
abstract: A continuous stream of new information on clinical, pathological and immunological aspects of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes has been published in recent years. In this survey, we will discuss current opinions on the value of anti-neuronal antibody detection for establishing a diagnosis of one of the paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system.
