Spontaneous remission without progression to limbic encephalitis in a patient with LGi1 seropositive faciobrachial dystonic seizure

Faciobrachial dystonic seizures are pathognomonic of leucine-rich glioma inactivated-1 (LGi1) antibody, non-paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Faciobrachial dystonic seizures usually precede limbic encephalitis by about a month. It is unknown whether, if untreated, faciobrachial dystonic seizures inevitably progress to limbic encephalitis. We present an LGi1 seropositive patient with a year’s ...

Spontaneous Complete Remission in a Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Severe Sepsis
