title: Resolution of limbic encephalitis with detection and treatment of lung cancer: clinical-radiological correlation.
abstract: Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis may develop in the setting of an otherwise occult malignancy. In the case reported here, the neuropsychiatric syndrome resolved with treatment of the underlying, previously undiagnosed small-cell lung cancer, and MR imaging showed resolution of the characteristic temporal lobe signal abnormalities.
