An unusual presentation of anti-Hu-associated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare disorder characterized by personality changes, seizures, memory loss, and psychiatric symptoms often associated with antineuronal antibodies. It is well described in the adult literature but is still underreported in the pediatric literature. Symptoms are usually multifocal and subacute in presentation, occurring over days to weeks; however, in rare ...
متن کاملMultifocal encephalopathy and autoimmune-mediated limbic encephalitis following tocilizumab therapy.
A 63-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis developed multifocal encephalopathy and limbic encephalitis following therapy with tocilizumab, a humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody. Anti-glutamate receptor ε2 antibodies were later found to be positive in both the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. This case highlights the possibility of the development of encephalopathy after treatment with...
متن کاملOpsoclonus-myoclonus and anti-Hu positive limbic encephalitis in a patient with neuroblastoma.
Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is seen in 2-3% of children with neuroblastoma and is believed to be caused by an autoimmune process elicited by the tumor. Although long-term neurologic sequelae are common in children with OMS, limbic encephalitis has not previously been reported. We report a child who developed limbic encephalitis associated with anti-Hu antibodies, 6 years after her initi...
متن کاملA new cause of limbic encephalopathy.
A new cause of limbic encephalopathy The spectrum of antibody-associated encephalopathy seems ever increasing. In 2004 Vincent et al. described, in this journal, a series of patients with a reversible limbic encephalopathy associated with antibodies against the voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKC-Ab). In this issue, Ances et al. (2005) have described yet another cause of limbic encephalopath...
متن کاملPotassium channel antibody-associated encephalopathy: a potentially immunotherapy-responsive form of limbic encephalitis.
Patients presenting with subacute amnesia are frequently seen in acute neurological practice. Amongst the differential diagnoses, herpes simplex encephalitis, Korsakoff's syndrome and limbic encephalitis should be considered. Limbic encephalitis is typically a paraneoplastic syndrome with a poor prognosis; thus, identifying those patients with potentially reversible symptoms is important. Volta...
