limbic encephalitis/fever

We compared clinical characteristics and autoantibodies against GluRepsilon2 between 95 patients with nonparaneoplastic non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NPNHALE) and 19 patients with non-herpetic acute encephalitis accompanying ovarian teratoma (NHAE-OT). Onset age (mean +/- SD) was 27.7 +/-

We reported four cases of acute encephalitis, in which MRI abnormalities localized in the limbic system. In the four cases, fever and consciousness disturbance were commonly found and convulsive seizures appeared in three. Within 10 days, their consciousness level became clear, but severe amnestic

A 19-year-old woman presented with headache and fever. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed increased pressure (>200 mmH2O) and pleocytosis. Brain MRI showed high intensity in the medial part of the right temporal lobe, insular regions, and basal ganglia of the right hemisphere on fluid

In order to determine whether six other human herpesviruses, aside from herpes simplex virus, are associated with non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis in immunocompetent individuals, real-time PCR was used to detect the DNA of herpesviruses in CSF collected from 61 patients with this form of

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of limbic encephalitis which initially presented as viral limbic encephalitis and during the clinical evaluation a renal carcinoma was diagnosed. METHODS Patient with history of peripheral paresis of right facial nerve, 1 month after symptoms appearance and treatment,

Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by complex motor activity associated with dreaming during REM sleep. RBD may be idiopathic or associated with various neurological diseases involving the brainstem. The association of RBD and limbic system

We report a 42-year-old woman of non-herpetic acute limbic encephalitis (NHALE) whose CT perfusion (CTP) images revealed abnormalities of the limbic system at the early stage. The patient had high fever, convulsion and memory disturbance soon after having caught a common cold, and was admitted to a

Introduction: We present a case of an elderly male with anti-LG1 limbic encephalitis involving hypothalamus presenting with acute changes in mental status and persistent hyperthermia. Case report:
