摘要

RGS8-associated paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome (PNS) is a recently-described disorder associated with lymphomas and typically presenting with severe, rapidly-progressing cerebellar dysfunction. We describe a patient who presented with mild signs of cerebellar dysfunction, including ocular motor abnormalities and impaired tandem gait. CSF showed elevated protein and a neural-restricted antibody pattern. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy on abdominal CT was biopsied and diagnosed as follicular B-cell lymphoma. After four years, the previously-detected antibody pattern was identified as RGS8 antibodies. This case describes the first RGS8-PNS patient presenting with a subtle and ocular motor predominant cerebellar syndrome with low-grade lymphoma.
