Anti-LGI1 Limbic Encephalitis—Case Report
Limbic encephalitis is characterized by acute or subacute changes in mood and behaviour, by recent memory changes, seizures and cognitive dysfunction. In this article, the authors present a case report of a 53-year-old woman that resorted to consultation with clinical presentation suggestive of major depressive episode. However, the worsening of symptoms despite treatment and the testimony of s...
متن کاملClinical features of limbic encephalitis with LGI1 antibody
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical manifestation, course, evolution, image manifestation, and treatments of LGI1 limbic encephalitis (LE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Studies confirmed that LE with the complex antibody of voltage-gated potassium channels is LGI1 LE. Since then, LE cases have been reported. In this study, 10 typical LE cases were searched in PubMed. The...
متن کاملTreating seizures and preventing amnesia in LGI1-antibody encephalitis
Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1)-antibody encephalitis is a treatable disease within the everexpanding group of autoimmune encephalitides. The illness is typically characterized by the subacute onset of amnesia, confusion, and seizures in middle age, with approximately 60% of patients showing medial temporal lobe T2 hyperintensities. The most characteristic seizure syndrome associated w...
متن کاملFaciobrachial dystonic seizures precede Lgi1 antibody limbic encephalitis.
OBJECTIVE To describe a distinctive seizure semiology that closely associates with voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC)-complex/Lgi1 antibodies and commonly precedes the onset of limbic encephalitis (LE). METHODS Twenty-nine patients were identified by the authors (n = 15) or referring clinicians (n = 14). The temporal progression of clinical features and serum sodium, brain magnetic resona...
متن کاملSeizure semiology: value in identifying seizure origin.
The diagnosis of epilepsy depends upon a number of factors, particularly detailed and accurate seizure history, or semiology. Other diagnostic data, consisting of electroencephalography, video-monitoring of the seizures, and magnetic resonance imaging, are important in any comprehensive epilepsy program, particularly with respect to lateralizing and localizing the seizure focus, if such a focus...
