چکیده

We report a case of limbic encephalitis with LGI1 antibodies and cranial MRI abnormality. A 41-year-old woman who presented with confusional state that had started 1 month ago. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed hyperintense signal in right basal ganglia followed by hyperintense signals in left hippocampus and bilateral basal ganglia half a month later. This case expands the spectrum of limbic encephalitis to include LGI1 antibodies and cranial MRI changing process.

Faciobrachio-crural dystonic seizures in LGI1 limbic encephalitis: A treatable cause of falls

Faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS) are closely associated with antibodies (Ab) to the leucine-rich glioma inactivated-1 protein (LGI1) component of the voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex. They precede or indicate the onset of limbic encephalitis (LE). Immunotherapy can prevent the development of LE and cognitive impairment. FBDS are very brief, very frequent unilateral dystonic ...

Isolated Chorea Associated with LGI1 Antibody

BACKGROUND Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody produces a syndrome of limbic encephalitis, hyponatremia, and facio-brachial dystonic seizures that is non-paraneoplastic and responsive to corticosteroids. Parkinsonism, tremor, and generalized chorea are rare manifestations of LGI1, but, when present, commonly accompany other signs of limbic encephalitis. CASE REPORT We present a ...

Autoantibodies to neuronal cell surface proteins have been described and may now be tested for. This has led to an exponential increase in the number of cases being reported. The most recently implicated...
