Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase directed antibodies are a rare cause of autoimmune limbic encephalitis that is relatively resistant to immunotherapy. Here we report a 15-year-old boy with nonparaneoplastic, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase limbic encephalitis presenting with subacute headache,
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
BACKGROUND
Limbic encephalitis, an immune-mediated encephalitis, results from inflammation in the medial temporal lobes. The paraneoplastic form is rare in pediatric population, and frequently precedes tumor diagnosis.
METHODS
A 9-year-old boy receiving chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, developed
We report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease associated with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis with autoantibodies against glutamate receptor epsilon2 in the cerebrospinal fluid. A 42-year-old woman developed a complaint of visual distortion, visual disturbance, headache and mild
We experienced an 8-year-old-boy with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE), who developed headache, convulsion, consciousness disturbance, and ataxia following cold like symptoms. Disturbance of short term memory and a change of character were recognized. Myoclonic seizures and generalized
Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a specific entity defined as diffuse infiltration of neoplastic glial cells into at least three cerebral lobes and preservation of the surrounding neuronal architecture. We report a patient with secondary GC that mimicked clinicoradiological features of limbic
OBJECTIVE

METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. Patient A 41-year-old patient.

We report two cases of non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE) which showed elevation of interleukin (IL)-6 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). [Case 1] The patient was a 25-year-old woman who was admitted to another hospital because of fever and severe headache, following common cold. After
BACKGROUND
Autoimmune neurological syndrome is a group of disorders caused by cancer affecting nervous system by different immunological mechanisms. In this study, we aim to study the clinical symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, autoantibody tests, computed tomography (CT), magnetic
A 46 years, nondiabetic, nonhypertensive woman presented with headache, vomiting, low grade intermittent fever, behavioral abnormality and seizures for last three months. Clinically she had meningism with bilateral papilloedema. Based on CSF analysis, normal CT scan of brain and suspicious lesion in
A 23-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of consciousness disturbance and convulsion, preceded by high fever, headache and erythema multiforme. Her brain magnetic resonance images showed hyperintense lesions in the left medial temporal lobe and the left pulvinar nucleus of the
Introduction. Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a rare disorder that typically follows a chronic or subacute course of personality changes, memory loss, seizures, and hallucinations. Early diagnosis is difficult and characteristic symptoms can be mimicked by a variety of conditions. We
BACKGROUND
A unified clinical approach to diagnose autoimmune encephalitis was published in Lancet Neurology in 2016. Purpose of our study is to examine the feasibility and reasonability of the 2016 "A clinical approach to diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis" in China with a retrospective
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an immune-mediated encephalitis characterized by the subacute onset of memory deficits, altered mental status, or psychiatric symptoms. Limbic encephalitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been reported yet. A 57-year-old man presented with the
