Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a manifestation of clinico pathological entity encephalo-myelo-neuropathy associated with anti-neuronal antibodies type 1 (ANNA-1 also called anti-Hu). Isolated PLE is rare. We reported a case of PLE in a 61-year-old heavy smoker man. An inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome was associated. Cranial MRI showed hyperintensity in amygdalo-hippocampic regions on T2 weighted sequences which appeared hypointense on T1-weighted sequences without gadolinium enhancement. Anti-Hu antibodies were absent in serum and in CSF. Despite chemotherapy, he died 18 months after disease onset. Our patient presented PLE without myelonouropathy and without ANNA-1 which suggests a different immunopathology.
副肿瘤性边缘叶脑炎(PLE)是一种临床病理实体性脑脊髓神经病的表现,与1型抗神经元抗体(ANNA - 1,也称为抗Hu)相关。孤立性PLE较为罕见。我们报告了一例61岁重度吸烟男性的PLE病例。该病例伴有抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征。头颅MRI显示在T2加权序列上杏仁核 - 海马区呈高信号,在T1加权序列上无钆增强时呈低信号。血清和脑脊液中均未检测到抗Hu抗体。尽管进行了化疗,但患者在疾病发作18个月后死亡。我们的患者表现为无脊髓神经病且无ANNA - 1的PLE,这提示了一种不同的免疫病理学。
