Abstract
Anti-Ma2 associated paraneoplastic syndrome usually presents as limbic encephalitis in association with testicular tumours.<sup>, </sup> Only four patients have been reported with involvement outside the CNS, two of whom also had limbic or brainstem encephalitis.<sup>, </sup> We report a man with anti- Ma2 associated myeloradiculopathy and previous testicular cancer whose neurological syndrome stabilised and anti-Ma2 titres fell following orchidectomy of a microscopically normal testis.
