Abstract
Discussion. The approaches to the examination of patients with RPCS are discussed. Clinical assessment, neuronal antibodies testing and a targeted screening for cancer should be performed. Brief information is provided on the use of the PNS-Care scale in the diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes.
Conclusion. The presented case demonstrates the difficulties of diagnosing the RPCS and the associated cancer. The “definite” diagnosis of rapidly progressive cerebellar syndrome requires the presence of high or moderate risk antibodies and cancer that is consistent with the syndrome’s phenotype.
Key words: rapidly progressive cerebellar syndrome, subacute cerebellar degeneration, paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, antineuronal antibodies.
