Abstract
Two cases of subacute sensory neuronopathy (SSN) associated with small cell lung cancer are reported. In both cases motor disability, attrib uted to motor neuropathy and neuronopathy, respectively, accompanied S SN. Immunohistochemical studies performed provide further data suggest ing the involvement of humoral antibodies and the participation of pro tease inhbitors in the pathogenesis of SSN.
