Autoimmune paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration in ovarian carcinoma patients treated with plasmapheresis and immunoglobulin: A case report

Abstract: Although this is only a single case report, the authors believe that the dire prognosis of PCD and the lack of effective therapy warrant a trial of this combined treatment early in the course of the disease. Confirmatory evidence of the efficacy of such an approach would be welcomed.

“…O tratamento das manifestações neuroimunológicas é controverso, mas provavelmente, deve basearse na instituição de imunoterapia agressiva, com utilização de imunoglobulina intravenosa, plasmaferese, corticóides em doses altas e imunossupressores 6 . Na maioria das vezes, tenta-se a utilização de plasmaferese ou imunoglobulina intravenosa, muitas vezes sem qualquer efeito clínico 7,8 .
