Abstract
The case is described of a 72-year-old woman who presented with a prog ressive right hemiparesis and central neurogenic hyperventilation. Pat hological and radiological studies revealed diffuse infiltration of a malignant lymphoma into the entire central nervous system and the uppe r spinal cord. The authors review 12 cases of tumor-induced central ne urogenic hyperventilation and discuss the pathophysiology of this cond ition.
