Parkinsonism and cerebellar ataxia and colon adenocarcinoma in anti-Ma2-associated encephalitis
Rajib Dutta
West China University of Medical Sciences, China
Statement of the problem: Anti-Ma2 antibody-associated encephalitis, which usually occurs in young men with germ cell
tumors of the testis with features of encephalitis, it can also present in elderly females with basal ganglia disorder features like
parkinsonism and cerebellar ataxia in absence of limbic or brainstem or di encephalic encephalitis. Patients may not present
with any form or symptoms of encephalitis but the treatment response rate with steroids, IVIG, plasmapharesis to control
the initial symptoms is very high and after resection of the tumor all the symptoms can be totally cured. So, even there is no
evidence of tumor on basic contrast CT/MRI scans, other special imaging like FDG-PET or highly advanced tumor searching
imaging plus serum tumor markers of different tumors should be considered as the tumor spectrum associated with anti Ma 2
antibody encephalitis is huge and resection of the tumor can totally cure the patient.
Case: A 68-year-old female presented to our department with resting tremor of right hand for 2 years. After 6 months, resting
tremor gradually involved her right leg. Antiparkinsonian drugs were initiated but her symptoms worsened gradually. Since
last 3 months, she developed features of imbalance with occasional falls and a weight loss of 10 kg. Neurological examinations
showed features of Parkinsonism. Brisk DTR right side more than left with abnormal cerebellar signs. CE MRI mild atrophy of
cerebellum. Anti-Ma2 antibodies in serum and CSF positive. Serum cancer antigen 72-4 was elevated. A sigmoid colon mass
was discovered by colonofiberoscopy and adenocarcinoma was diagnosed via tissue biopsy. Steroids, IVIG and resection of the
tumor completely cured the disease.
Conclusion: 1) Parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia as main component of anti-Ma2-associated encephalitis was rarely reported.
2) Colon adenocarcinoma was rarely reported in this diseases. 3) Response rate to treatment relatively very high.
Biography
Rajib Dutta is a postgraduate neurology trainee 1st year in china with MRCP UK London, Diploma in emergency Medicine (Royal college UK), Diploma in clinical
neuropsychology(UK), Pediatric Neurology certification BPNA (UK, ongoing). His professor is a movement disorder and neurodegenerative specialist in china and
they see different spectrum of movement disorders patient like chorea, dystonia, PD, tremors myoclonus, AD, FTD, ALS, LBD, WD and other disorders like, PERRY
syndrome, Episodic ataxias, Parkinson plus syndromes (MSA, PSP, CBD), Dyskinesias (PKD, PED etc) . His research interest revolves around PD, Camptocormia,
Paraneoplastic antibody syndromes or degeneration related to movement disorders,He has recently submitted a meta analyses of vit D and its association with PD
in frontiers of neuroscience under review plus submitted this above mentioned abstract in Movement disorders under review, working on WD with secondary PKD,
Face of Giant Panda in WD, PARK 2 neuropathy.
