Purpose Autoantibodies to specific neurologic proteins are associated with subacute onset
encephalopathies, which often present with seizures that are poorly controlled by …

Importance Autoimmune epilepsy is an underrecognized condition, and its true incidence is
unknown. Identifying patients with an underlying autoimmune origin is critical because these …

In a substantial number of patients with epilepsy, the etiology of the seizure disorder remains
unknown. In recent years, the detection of autoantibodies has contributed to the etiologic …

Purpose Potentially pathogenic autoantibodies are found increasingly in adults with seizure
disorders, including focal seizures and those of unknown cause. In this study, we …

Objective To generate a score which clinically identifies surface-directed autoantibodies in
adults with new-onset focal epilepsy, and evaluate the value of immunotherapy in this …

The article offers information on a study related to the specificity and applicability of antibody
prevalence in Epilepsy and Encephalopathy. It notes the models designed to predict …

Purpose The growing recognition of epilepsies and encephalopathies associated with
autoantibodies against surface neuronal proteins (LGI1, NMDAR, CASPR2, GABA BR, and …

Background Clinicians have questioned whether any disorder involving seizures and neural
antibodies should be called “(auto) immune epilepsy.” The concept of “acute symptomatic …

The detection of antineural autoantibodies in patients with epilepsy has led to the new
concept of “autoimmune epilepsy.” A particularly important implication is that knowledge of …

This study evaluated the EEG findings of patients whose seizures were associated with a
possible autoimmune etiology. Our aim was to find clues to distinguish patients with …
