Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is a well-defined clinical entity typically associated with ovarian or breast carcinoma.

Eleven patients with relatively selective cerebellar degeneration and 11 normal control subjects underwent a comprehensive neurologic and neuropsychological examination.

Both clinically and pathologically, there are numerous similarities and intersection points between ET and other disorders of cerebellar degeneration.

As animal models do not faithfully recapitulate the neurological aspects, it remains unclear whether cerebellar degeneration is a neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative phenotype.

This suggests the presence of a classical anti-Yo antibody.... Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is a well-defined clinical entity typically associated with ovarian or breast carcinoma.

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a human disorder that results in a number of clinical symptoms, including cerebellar degeneration and increased cancer predisposition.

Using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, we studied the cerebellum of 9 patients with cerebellar degeneration and of 9 age-matched normal control subjects.

Here, we compare the clinical and postmortem features of ET with other cerebellar degenerations, thereby placing it within the broader context of these diseases.
