Subacute cerebellar degenera also known as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, is one of the typical neurological lesions caused byparaneoplastic neurological syndrom. It is caused by changes in the immune response. A case of tumor-negative anti-Yo antibody-positivesubacute cerebellar degeneration is reported to strengthen clinicians’ understanding of the disease.
