Samenvatting
A 5-year-old boy underwent total plasma exchange to remove anti-neuronal anti-Hu autoantibodies as a complication of neuroblastoma, leading to autonomic bowel dysfunction. Total plasma exchange (TPE) resulted eventually in a reduction of autoantibody levels, but, more importantly, led to improvement of bowel function. TPE proved to be a safe and effective treatment option in neuroblastoma-related anti-Hu syndrome in a child.
