Summary: | The authors describe a patient with a background of metastatic small cell prostate cancer who presented with a rapidly evolving sensorimotor neuropathy with bulbar features closely resembling Guillain-Barré syndrome, with a good initial response to intravenous immunoglobulins and platinum-based chemotherapy. This represented a likely paraneoplastic manifestation of the patient's urological malignancy. |
