Core Tip	Voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies are generally associated with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, but also with paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. The autoimmune nature of non-tumour Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is reflected in its association with various HLA subtypes and other autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo, myasthenia gravis and diabetes mellitus. The most common tumour associated with VGCC-antibody-positivity is small cell lung cancer. Knowledge on the relation between cerebellar degeneration and VGCC is limited, and treatment response is poor in this group of patients.
