説明

<p>We report a 79-year-old man with leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis following faciobrachial dystonic seizure (FBDS). 4 months before his admission, he developed partial seizures manifesting very brief and frequent dystonia in his right side of face and right hand. In addition, he started to wake suddenly from sleep with a loud scream and experience hallucination. On admission, he showed loss of consciousness and hyponatremia, and developed generalized convulsive status epilepticus. Brain MRI demonstrated high T2/FLAIR signal changes in the bilateral amygdala and chronic subdural hematoma. After removal of subdural hematoma and anti-epileptic drugs therapy, however seizures were not controlled. Treatment with high dose intravenous methylprednisolone and oral prednisolone was highly effective against his symptoms. Our findings collectively suggested that detection of FBDS is important for early diagnosis of anti-LGI1 antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis and appropriate treatment selection.</p>
