↵ * If one of the first 3 criteria is not met, a diagnosis of definite limbic encephalitis can be made only with the detection of antibodies against cell-surface, synaptic, or onconeural proteins.. ↵ ...
In most autoimmune encephalitides, the MRI is normal or shows nonspecific inflammatory changes; two exceptions are limbic encephalitis and anti-GABA A R encephalitis.
MRI imaging of the brain is usually nonspecific, or even normal, but limbic encephalitis usually produces some characteristic changes in the medial temporal lobe.
Diagnosis Voltage-gated potassium channel antibody-related limbic encephalitis. Management Antiepileptic drugs, immunomodulatory therapy, oral steroids, plasma exchange.
Conclusions . Paraneoplastic anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is potentially lethal, but usually reversible if promptly recognized and treated. It should be suspected in young women with prominent ...
