We report an autopsy case of encephalitis principally confined to the bilateral thalamus and associated with pulmonary and gastric cancers. An 81-year-old man exhibiting behavioral abnormalities and progressive somnolence died of pneumonia 11 months after onset. Because the patient had lung cancer and no definite cause of the encephalitis was found, this case was categorized as one of paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis. This may be the first reported case of this condition in which the central nervous system (CNS) lesion was located predominantly in the thalamus.
我们报告一例主要局限于双侧丘脑且与肺癌和胃癌相关的脑炎尸检病例。一名81岁男性，出现行为异常和进行性嗜睡，发病11个月后死于肺炎。由于该患者患有肺癌且未发现明确的脑炎病因，此病例被归类为副肿瘤性脑脊髓炎。这可能是首例报道的中枢神经系统（CNS）病变主要位于丘脑的此类病例。
