Respiratory complications related to bulbar dysfunction in motor neuron disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare remote effect of cancer. The antibodies and tumors associated with PNS have been well described, but there are still many clinically suspected cases in which no tumor or antibody can be identified. This is the first report of PNS showing hot cross-bun sign...
