Paraneoplastic stiff person syndrome is a rare, but debilitating, manifestation
of cancer, characterized by painful extremities, truncal and facial spasms. The
resultant functional impairment may necessitate comprehensive rehabilitation and
symptom management. This case series describes the acute inpatient rehabilitation
courses of 2 patients at different tertiary care referral cancer rehabilitation
programmes, including work-up and diagnosis, medical management of symptoms, and
functional outcomes. Both patients had a reduction in symptom burden and an
improvement in motor function as a result of multidisciplinary acute inpatient
rehabilitation.
