Abstract
12 cases of paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration with Hodgkin's disease have so far been reported. Three additional patients (Stage II-IA / IIA / IIIB) are presented. Although CT and MR-imaging (MRI) revealed a marked cortical atrophy of the cerebellum, there was no evidence of direct brain involvement. After irradiation and chemotherapy all patients showed a complete remission. There was no evidence of primary disease after an observation period of 3/2/5 years. Cerebellar symptoms also showed a partial remission. As compared to the literature, our treatment appears to be more favourable, probably due to the fact, that therapy was more aggressive than usual.
