Autoimmune Limbic Encephalitis with GAD Antibodies
The Neurohospitalist 1:178-181, Finelli, P.F., 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
The neurologic presentation of limbic encephalitis is variable and when it occurs due to a rare cause the diagnosis may be problematic. We present a case of autoimmune limbic encephalitis due to glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody and consider the magnetic resonance imaging and antineural antibody screening aspects in the diagnosis of this entity.
