Intestinal pseudo‐obstruction is a rare paraneoplastic manifestation of small‐cell carcinoma
of the lung. This report documents a further case associated with neuronal degeneration of
enteric neural plexuses and a high serum titre of immunoglobulin G (IgG) type 1 anti‐
neuronal nuclear antibodies (ANNA‐1).
