Limbic Encephalitis Not Associated with Neoplasm as a Cause of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Neurol 55:1823-1828, Bien,C.G.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The patients shared the following clinical features: onset of the disease in young adulthood with subacute onset or exacerbation of frequent intractable temporal lobe seizures, verbal and visual memory deficits, and affective abnormalities. MRI showed variably extended areas of increased T2 signal in limbic structures and adjacent areas. In the histopathologic investigation, chronic inflammation was observed without evidence of a viral origin. There was no evidence of an underlying malign ancy. Nonparaneoplastic limbic encephalitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of adult patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
