| Discussion | A paraneoplastic syndrome with anti-Yo antibodies is a rare immune-mediated disorder that causes subacute cerebellar degeneration. Anti-Yo antibody, also known as Purkinje cell cytoplasmic antibody type 1 (PCA-1), accounts for approximately half of all antibody-mediated paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration cases and is most commonly associated with ovarian and breast cancers.
