Abstract
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare disorder which belongs to a group of paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes. The diagnostic role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of utmost importance.
We report a case of a 57-year old man in whom MRI significantly contributed to establishing of proper diagnosis. Other important diagnostic test includes identification of specific, so called antineural autoantibodies.
Typically, the prognosis of the disease is not good, it depends mainly on the ability to control the underlying malignant disease.
