Anti-Glycine Receptor Antibody Mediated Progressive Encephalomyelitis with Rigidity and Myoclonus Associated with Breast Cancer

الملخص EN

We describe a 66-year-old woman who presented with a dramatic course of PERM.

Anti-glycine receptor antibodies were found.

She stabilized after plasma-exchange and partly recovered.

Eighteen months later, a diagnosis of smouldering breast cancer with bone marrow metastasis was made.

There are indications that this tumor was already present at first presentation.

An overview of PERM and anti-glycine receptor antibodies is given.
