title: [Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes in gynecological malignancies].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The demonstration of life-threatening paraneoplastic syndrome with dominant neurological symptomatology in germinal ovarian malignancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature review with case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine Masaryk University and University Hospital Brno.
  
  
  METHODS
  The review outlines the issue of paraneoplastic syndromes. It describes the etiopathogenesis, the range of clinical symptoms, the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, along with a relevant case study which focuses on the paraneoplastic neurological symptoms in malignant germinal ovarian tumor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although paraneoplastic symptomatology is rather rare, it constitutes an important part of the clinical picture of malignant tumors. In a number of cases, the paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNNS) symptoms precede the actual tumor diagnosis. The awareness of this connection can thus be important in early diagnostics, which in turn can significantly affect a patients prognosis. Another important benefit of familiarity with the symptoms of neurological paraneoplasia is the fact that some PNNS are associated with specific tumors. Interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary in the case of PNNS for early tumor diagnostics. Treatment of the primary tumor is the key in diagnosed malignancies. With effective oncological treatment, adequate regression of paraneoplastic symptoms can be observed.
