摘      要：To the Editor: Motor neuron disease (MND) is marked by upper (UMN) or lower (LMN) motor neuron signs and symptoms,[1] which in various combinations form the basis for MND classification. In this regard, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common subtype.[2] Although otherwise deemed an untreatable degenerative disease, there is now increasing evidence of more heterogeneous pathogenesis, signaling a link between MND and paraneoplastic syndromes.[3].
