Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare neurological disorder that is classically associated with small cell lung cancer, it usually presents with seizures, confusion, behavioral changes and cognitive impairments. It has been associated with a number of onconeural antibodies. Its association with other malignancies is less recognized. We present a case of a young male with a diagnosis of thymoma who developed limbic encephalitis after the diagnosis and the initial treatment of his malignancy. The patient showed clinical improvement after receiving radiotherapy to the primary tumor.
