[Paraneoplastic myelopathy, probably necrotizing myelopathy: apropos of a case associated with anaplastic small cell carcinoma].
We comment a case of necrotizing myelopathy, a rare neurological paraneoplastic syndrome, that it was the first manifestation of a microcit anaplastic carcinoma. The diagnostic was made with the clinical and radiological base, after we deprive another diseases with similar clinical manifestations and the result of the Magnetic resonance image of the nervous system. We didn't obtain permise for the necropsic study.
