AB  - A  65-year-old  woman  with  stage  II  ovarian  cancer  and  hypothyroidism  was  admitted  to  the  acute  oncology  ward  with  a  5  day  history  of  progressive  nausea,  gait  instability  and  oscillopsia.  Her  drug  history  was  remarkable  for  levothyroxine  only.  She  did  not  drink  alcohol.  On  examination  she  manifested  a  downbeat  nystagmus,  past  pointing;  dysdiadochokinesia;  and  both  truncal  and  gait  ataxia.Radiological  investigations  failed  to  reveal  an  abnormality  to  explain  the  patient’s  cerebellar  signs  and  symptoms.  The  only  positive  laboratory  finding  was  the  presence  of  anti-Yo  antibodies  in  her  serum.What  is  the  differential  diagnosis?What  investigations  should  be  done?What  is  the  treatment  and  prognosis?
