Anti-Hu antibody-mediated limbic encephalitis associated with cervical cancer: A case report
1Department of Neurology, Haeundae Paik Hospital, Inje University, Busan, Korea.
Abstract:
A 55-year-old postmenopausal and multiparous woman presented to our department with recent memory disturbances associated with rapidly progressive positive Anti-Hu antibodies. She was subsequently diagnosed with anti-Hu antibody-related paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Clinical examination and imaging studies revealed a bulky cervical tumor with both parametrial and vaginal fornix extension; biopsy confirmed the tumor as cervical squamous cell carcinoma. In this case, we encountered a patient with anti-Hu-mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with a subsequent diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
