Abstract
Subacute sensory neuronopathy and gastrointestinal pseudoobstruction are considered classical paraneoplastic neurological syndromes. We report a 56-year-old male who presented with typical symptoms of subacute sensory neuronopathy and autonomic neuropathy with gastrointestinal pseudoobstruction. The biopsy of the palpable supraclavicular lymph node revealed a small cell lung cancer. To our knowledge, intestinal pseudoobstruction and sensory neuronopathy in a small cell lung cancer have not been reported in Korea.
