Abstract
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are a set of neurological manifestations associated with the existence of a hidden tumour in a patient. Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are produced by immunological mechanisms where an immune response occurs against antigens shared between tumour and neuronal tissue of the patient. Serological detection of onconeural antibodies (Hu, Yo, Ri, Ma-2, amphiphysin, etc.) is useful in the diagnosis of associated paraneoplastic neurological syndromes. The case is presented of a patient who was admitted to emergency room due to neurological disorders. With the results of the clinical laboratory, the study was oriented towards the search for a hidden tumour of microcytic mixed lineage.
