Abstract
We describe the case of a patient with a particular form of presumably immu ne-mediated encephalomyelitis associated with a monoclonal cold agglutin ga mmapathy Systematic autopsy showed predominantly demyelinating lesions of t he brain and spinal cord. The lesions were assumed to be the immune-mediate d consequences of the underlying hematologic condition. Similarity with cer tain paraneoplastic syndromes is underlined.
