Two cases of subacute sensory neuronopathy (SSN) associated with small cell lung cancer are reported. In both cases motor disability, attributed to motor neuropathy and neuronopathy, respectively, accompanied SSN. Immunohistochemical studies performed provide further data suggesting the involvement of humoral antibodies and the participation of protease inhibitors in the pathogenesis of SSN.
