Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) can affect the nervous systems in several ways. The neurologic complications of this disease may be related to direct involvement of any part of the nervous system by metastasis or direct invasion, paraneoplastic involvement, or as a consequence of neurotoxicity from treatment(s) for the lymphoma. In addition, patients may develop infectious complications in the nervous system from immunosuppression related to the disease or its treatment. This review discusses direct involvement of the peripheral nervous system by lymphoma and paraneoplastic disease and briefly addresses some nervous system infections in lymphoma patients.Entities:
