Özet

Pandysautonomia is a severe and rare clinical condition characterized by widespread sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction. Consideration of whether symptoms and presentation are acute, subacute, or chronic is often helpful in establishing a differential diagnosis. The underlying mechanisms leading to pure pandysautonomia are unclear; however, there is some evidence suggestive of an immune-mediated pathogenesis. Herein, we report a case with pandysautonomia as a paraneoplastic manifestation of non-small cell lung cancer that had an excellent response to symptomatic and supportive treatments, as well as IVIG therapy.
