Abstract:
We describe the case of a patient with a particular form of presumably immune-mediated encephalomyelitis associated with a monoclonal cold agglutin gammapathy. Systematic autopsy showed predominantly demyelinating lesions of the brain and spinal cord. The lesions were assumed to be the immune-mediated consequences of the underlying hematologic condition. Similarity with certain paraneoplastic syndromes is underlined.
