    Samenvatting

    In two patients, women aged 73 and 46 years, gastrointestinal symptoms were initially not recognised as a paraneoplastic syndrome due to small-cell lung cancer. This led to redundant diagnostics as well as a delay in final diagnosis. The anti-Hu syndrome is characterised by the presence of anti-Hu antibodies and neurological symptoms. About a quarter of the patients with the anti-Hu syndrome will develop gastrointestinal motility disorders in the course of their illness. The primary tumour is usually a small-cell lung cancer. Whereas the presence of anti-Hu antibodies appears to be beneficial for the oncological prognosis, the neurological outcome is less favourable.
