Paraneoplastic subacute sensory neuronopathy. Clinical-pathological study.
We report 2 cases of subacute sensory neuropathy (SSN) in small cell cancer of the lung. In both cases motor disturbances were caused by motor neuropathy and neuropathy as well. In both cases we observed altered immunoreactivity of the nervous tissue, suggesting the participation of humoral immunity in the tissue damage.
