[Paraneoplastic ataxia due to laryngeal carcinoma].
Paraneoplastic syndromes are not common in ear, nose and throat disease, but they can cause disease in various organ systems. We report a case of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma in a patient examined for ataxia. Surgical removal of the tumor resolved the cerebellar symptoms.
