ABSTRACT

The paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are a group of neurological alterations, produced by the remote effect of a malignancy, there are caused by antibodies against tumor´s antigens; those are identical to neural antigens that are named onconeural antigens. The onconeural antigens are classified in well characterized, partial characterized and those that are present in neoplastic and non-neoplastic neurologic alterations. The neurologic paraneoplastic syndromes can be present within five year the diagnostic of cancer, for this reason is important considerate the possibility of a malignancy for the origin of a neurologic alteration, thinking in the opportunity of quick diagnoses and treatment. There are well defined criteria for the diagnosis of neurologic paraneoplastic syndromes. The treatment of underlying cancer is the ideal treatment, but there is evidence of the usefulness of the immunosuppressive therapy.
