Limbic encephalitis and hyperactive foci on PET scan
Two cases of patients with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis, difficult to control seizures, and unilateral hippocampal hypermetabolism on positron emission tomography (PET) are described. Two women aged 33 and 61 presented with uncontrolled complex partial seizures, profound memory loss and cognitive decline. One was later diagnosed with breast cancer and the other with lung cancer. Video-EEG...

متن کاملAutoimmune Encephalitis
autoimmune encephalitis (aiE) associated with neural autoantibodies is increasingly recognized as a cause of subacute onset amnesia, confusion, and seizures. in the past decade, several key antibody targets have been identified in aiE. These include the N-methyl d-aspartate (NMda) receptors, voltage-gated potassium channel complexes—in particular leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (lGi1) and glu...
