Abstract
Introduction:
Malignancy is a possible cause of unexplained encephalitis.
Exegesis:
We describe a 59-years-old woman with limbic encephalitis, not explained by other causes, preceding diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. Successful treatment of Hodgkin's disease was effective against neurological disturbance.
Conclusion:
This case provides evidence that Hodgkin's disease can be uncovered by paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.
