Abstract
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is an immune-mediated paraneoplastic disorder affecting the cerebellum. PCD associated with ovarian malignancy is a rare occurrence with fewer than 100 cases reported in published work. PCD patients express anti-Yo antibody, one of the anti-onconeuronal antibodies which is most likely associated with gynecologic or breast malignancies. In this report, we present the case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with acute symptoms of PCD as a first sign of ovarian malignancy.
