We compared clinical characteristics and autoantibodies against GluRepsilon2 between 95 patients with nonparaneoplastic non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NPNHALE) and 19 patients with non-herpetic acute encephalitis accompanying ovarian teratoma (NHAE-OT). Onset age (mean +/- SD) was 27.7 +/-
We reported four cases of acute encephalitis, in which MRI abnormalities localized in the limbic system. In the four cases, fever and consciousness disturbance were commonly found and convulsive seizures appeared in three. Within 10 days, their consciousness level became clear, but severe amnestic
Non-paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is characterized by attention deficit, loss of emotion control, and impaired memory. Viral infection can cause acute encephalitis in children, occasionally exhibiting clinical features of limbic dysfunction. However, how viral infection affects A 19-year-old woman presented with headache and fever. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed increased pressure (>200 mmH2O) and pleocytosis. Brain MRI showed high intensity in the medial part of the right temporal lobe, insular regions, and basal ganglia of the right hemisphere on fluid
In order to determine whether six other human herpesviruses, aside from herpes simplex virus, are associated with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis in immunocompetent individuals, real-time PCR was used to detect the DNA of herpesviruses in CSF collected from 61 patients with this form of
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of limbic encephalitis which initially presented as viral limbic encephalitis and during the clinical evaluation a renal carcinoma was diagnosed.
METHODS
Patient with history of peripheral paresis of right facial nerve, 1 month after symptoms appearance and treatment,
Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by complex motor activity associated with dreaming during REM sleep. RBD may be idiopathic or associated with various neurological diseases involving the brainstem. The association of RBD and limbic system
We report a 42-year-old woman of non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE) whose CT perfusion (CTP) images revealed abnormalities of the limbic system at the early stage. The patient had high fever, convulsion and memory disturbance soon after having caught a common cold, and was admitted to a
Introduction: We present a case of an elderly male with anti-LG1 limbic encephalitis involving hypothalamus presenting with acute changes in mental status and persistent hyperthermia.
Case report:
A 66-year-old male patient presented with low grade fever without chills associated with simple partial seizures. He was advised whole body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) (fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT) scan which demonstrated an increase in metabolic activity in the limbic
Non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE) is a cause-unknown, inflammatory disease entity that affects the limbic system restrictedly. Neuropathological changes of NHALE have been described in only one report. A 53-year-old Japanese woman developed high fever, disturbance of consciousness and
Clinical cases similar to herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis have accumulated in Japan. Detailed examinations have failed to demonstrate HSV infection. Recently, these cases have been named "non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis". Only a single autopsy case was so far reported in an abstract
This is a report of a 31-year-old woman with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis following a type-2 adenovirus infection. The patient was admitted to a hospital with high fever, severe liver dysfunction, and thrombocytopenia. Six days after admission, she became afebrile, and her liver
We report the case of a 64-year old man who presented memory disturbance, low-grade fever, weight loss, and bilateral hand tremors for three months. He was diagnosed with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE). Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed new lesions after symptomatic
BACKGROUND
Non-viral limbic encephalitis, which may be paraneoplastic or idiopathic, is increasingly recognized in adults and children. Early identification of potential patients, who have neuronal autoantibodies to intracellular or neuronal surface antigens in order to give appropriate
