Rare paraneoplastic syndrome of prostatic cancer: limbic encephalitis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Introduction Limbic encephalitis is an autoimmune neurologic disorder, often of paraneoplastic origin, that seldom complicates prostatic tumors. The nonspecificity of symptoms makes the diagnosis sometimes difficult to establish. Prognosis is essentially

18F-FDG-PET/MRI in the diagnostic work-up of limbic encephalitis

PLoS ONE, 2020
Introduction Limbic encephalitis (LE) is an immune-related, sometimes paraneoplastic process of the central nervous system. Initial diagnosis and treatment are based on the clinical presentation as well as antibody profiles and MRI.

Specific B- and T-cell populations are associated with cognition in patients with epilepsy and antibody positive and negative suspected limbic encephalitis

Journal of Neurology, 2020
Neuropsychological impairments are major symptoms of autoimmune limbic encephalitis (LE) epilepsy patients. In LE epilepsy patients with an autoimmune response against intracellular antigens as well as in antibody-negative patients, the antibody findings

Invasion of small cell lung cancer into the limbic system from leptomeningeal metastases

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021
The diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases is sometimes difficult when the cytology of cerebrospinal fluid is negative. We report a rare case of leptomeningeal metastases that required differentiation from paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Early‐Onset Versus Late‐Onset LGI1‐Antibody Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 antibody (LGI1‐Ab) encephalitis predominantly affected older individuals, but has also been reported in younger patients. However, the demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics of early‐onset LGI1‐Ab encephalitis have yet to be systematically elucidated. This study aims to systematically
