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 There is increasing awareness of neuronal autoantibodies and their impact on the
pathogenesis of epilepsy. We investigated children with focal epilepsy in order to provide an …

Objective In autoimmune encephalitis the etiologic role of neuronal cell‐surface antibodies
is clear; patients diagnosed and treated early have better outcomes. Neuronal antibodies …

Objective Diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is difficult in patients with less
fulminant diseases such as epilepsy. However, recognition is important, as patients require …

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

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

Importance The literature on neural autoantibody positivity in epilepsy has expanded over
the last decade, with an increased interest among clinicians in identifying potentially …

Purpose Antibodies against neuronal surface proteins are increasingly recognized in
autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) disorders in which seizures are the main or an …

Objective To report the prevalence of anti-neuronal antibodies in a prospective whole-nation
cohort of children presenting with seizures before their third birthday. Methods This was a …

Background: The prevalence of neural autoantibodies in epilepsy of unknown etiology
varies among studies. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to …
