Abstract
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are immune-mediated complications of cancer associated with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Optic neuropathy (ON) and myelitis are frequent manifestations of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorders but are considered as non-classical in PNS. Here, we report a case of PNS revealed by simultaneous bilateral ON and myelitis related to a cluster of three neural autoantibodies, in the setting of small cell lung cancer.
