title: [Hodgkin's disease manifesting as paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Malignancy is a possible cause of unexplained encephalitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a 59-years-old woman with limbic encephalitis, not explained by other causes, preceding diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. Successful treatment of Hodgkin's disease was effective against neurological disturbance.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case provides evidence that Hodgkin's disease can be uncovered by paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.
