Cerebellar degeneration with Hodgkin's disease: computed tomographic correlation and literature review

A 62-year-old man with progressive cerebellar degeneration, corticospinal tract dysfunction, and mild dementia was found to have Hodgkin's disease. Serial computed tomographic studies revealed progressive cerebellar atrophy. The clinical features and neuroradiologic studies in nine previous cases are reviewed. A thorough search for lymphadenopathy should be made in patients with unexplained cerebellar degeneration.
