    Paraneoplastic syndromes can affect the nervous system, causing tonic pupils in cancer patients. Autoimmune responses targeting autonomic nerves may underlie this dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Paraneoplastic neurologic deterioration can manifest with diverse symptoms.
    • Autonomic nervous system dysfunction is a recognized, albeit less common, feature.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with non-neurologic malignancies presented with tonic pupils.
    • These patients also exhibited broader somatic and autonomic nervous system involvement.

    Findings:

    • The development of tonic pupils in these cases suggests a link between extracranial malignancies and autonomic dysfunction.
    • While the precise mechanism is unclear, an autoimmune etiology targeting autonomic ganglion cells is hypothesized.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for paraneoplastic syndromes to impact the autonomic nervous system.

  • Further research into autoimmune mechanisms could lead to novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for paraneoplastic autonomic neuropathy.
