Female, 59 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis Symptoms: Seizure • memory changes • decreased concentration ⋯ A very high index of suspicion should thus be present when patients present with paraneoplastic abnormalities. It must be emphasized that limbic encephalitis (LE) occurs at an early stage of the disease development and therefore the detection of paraneoplastic LE can lead to a quicker identification of the underlying malignancy and a better outcome.
