Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), Epworth 21/24 of 5 year associated to Paraneoplastic Encephalitis in a 40 year old pacient with orchiectomy for testicular teratoma and drug Resistant Epilepsy, case report in poster presented with 129H/2225 code by Dr Ion Alvarez Guerrico, clinical neurophysiologist of our CN Staff in Hospital del Mar.
In 2004 a comprehensive clinical analysis of 38 patients with anti-Ma2 encephalitis was performed by  Dalmau et al and was published in Brain (see here). Overall, 12 patients had clinical evidence of seizures (seven partial complex seizures; five partial complex seizures and generalized tonicclonic seizures). Thirteen patients developed diencephalic dysfunction, 12 with EDS and two of them with cataplexy and hypnagogic hallucinations.
The case presented show the presence of both limbic and diencephalic symptoms with manifestation during a large period of time and the importance of the Clinical Neurophysiology to evidence the clinical manifestations of these injuries wich appear together or before of cancer complications.
