-**Paraneoplastic disorders** can lead to severe psychiatric and behavioural symptoms. Rapid identification is required to ensure correct treatment and management to avoid misdiagnosis of a paraneoplastic neurologic disorder. Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are the immune-mediated effects of a remote cancer and are characterized by an autoantibody response against the antigens expressed by the tumour.
+**Paraneoplastic disorders** can lead to severe psychiatric and behavioural symptoms. **Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE)** is a rare neurological syndrome associated with cancer, and selectively affects limbic system structures, including the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and amygdala.[([[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29717222/|Shen, K., Xu, Y., Guan, H., Zhong, W., Chen, M., Zhao, J., ... & Wang, M. (2018). Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis associated with lung cancer. Scientific reports, 8(1), 1-8.]])] The encephalitis is caused by an altered immunologic response to a malignancy that has antigens that resemble limbic antigens. The inflammatory response, however, occurs away from the original neoplasm site.[([[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6319301/|Kacem, M., Belloumi, N., Bachouche, I., Mersni, M., Chermiti Ben Abdallah, F., & Fenniche, S.
