Encephalitis and AMPA Receptor Antibodies
Neurol 84:2403-2412, Hoftberger, R.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Anti-AMPAR encephalitis usually manifests as LE, can present with other symptoms or psychosis, and is paraneoplastic in 64% of cases. Complete and impressive neurologic improvement can occur, but most patients have partial recovery. Screening for a tumor and onconeuronal antibodies is important because their detection influences outcome.
