“…Limbic encephalitis is almost always associated with an underlying malignancy [9], but our patient did not have any known underlying malignancy and subsequent workup for malignancy was negative. Workup for autoimmunity was limited to anti-NMDA receptor antibody in CSF which proved to be negative.…”

We report about a 63-year-old male patient who complained of a recent onset of confusion. A mediastinal mass had been detected in his chest X-ray three days before admission to our clinic. Surprisingly, a CT scan of the brain revealed no signs of cerebral masses or oedema. MRI demonstrated bright hyperintens signals in the medial aspect of both temporal lobes. Biopsy by mediastinoscopy showed small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). No distant metastases were found by staging procedures. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum contained antineuronal antibodies (anti-Hu). The combination of symptoms, MRI findings and paraneoplastic antibodies established the diagnosis of paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis in a patient with SCLC. Chemotherapy combined with immunosuppression by corticosteroids was started immediately. The primary tumour responded to therapy but improvement of cerebral symptoms was unsatisfactory. Severe memory loss and personality changes remained unchanged while there was a slight improvement in confusion and hallucinations.
