Paraneoplastic and Other Antibody Disorders of the CNS
Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome, Stiff Person Syndrome
Anti-CV2, anti-Hu, anti-Ma, anti-Ta, anti-Ri, anti-Yo, anti-Zic4 antibodies, and anti-GAD65 are found in patients with acute or subacute symptoms of cerebellar degeneration including gait ataxia, nystagmus and/or dysarthria, and opsoclonus/myoclonus.
