PEM is one of the most frequent cancer-associated syndromes. This complex disorder usually affects several areas of the CNS. Cerebellar and brain stem disorders, as well as limbic encephalitis, are the most common clinical presentations of PEM [31, 32], Focal involvement of the sensorimotor cortex has been described in a few cases [33], and PEM may manifest as epileptic seizures or epilepsia partialis continua [33, 34], or as extrapyramidal symptoms [35], Two-thirds of the patients are affected in both the CNS and the peripheral nervous system. The predominant feature in more than half of these is SN [32, 36], hence the commonly used term is PEM/SN. Autonomic dysfunction is common in PEM/SN patients [36], often presenting as gastrointestinal dysmotility [37]. [Pg.149]
