N2 - In two patients with subacute sensory neuronopathy associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung, the diagnosis of the paraneoplastic syndrome was aided by the finding, in highly diluted serum (1/500 and 1/2,000, respectively), of unusual and distinctive antinuclear antibodies with reactivity restricted to neuronal nuclei. Magnetic resonance imaging of the chest was instrumental in detecting both lung cancers.
