Abstract:
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes describe a very heterogeneous group of neurological disorders. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is frequently associated with gynecological tumors, lung cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma. The following case report shows the typical course of this disease as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Furthermore the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation between neurology, oncology and palliative care for prognosis and symptom stabilization is highlighted.

A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
