ABSTRACT
Immune-mediated movement disorders can occur due to
infectious, paraneoplastic, or idiopathic processes. Herein, we would like to
discuss more the abnormal movements reported with paraneoplastic diseases. The
development of more specific screening methods such as Western blot,
immunohistochemistry, radioimmunoassay, and cell-based assay contributed to the
discovery of uncommonly reported antibody-spectra helping with the knowledge of
overlapping different movements with different antibodies. Moreover, this
information has broken a paradigm of the need for a primary tumorous implant in
selected brain-specific areas to cause neurological symptoms.
