An increasing number of antibodies have been described in the epilepsies and other
seizure-related disorders. Evidence of direct pathogenicity comes from the extracellular …

Epilepsy is a heterogeneous disorder, the symptoms of which are preventable and
controllable to some extent. Significant inter-and intra-country differences in incidence and …

A pathogenic role of immunity in epilepsies has long been suggested based on
observations of the efficacy of immune‐modulating treatments and, more recently, by the …

Brain morphology and function are susceptible to various psysiological influences, including
changes in the immune system. Inflammation and autoimmunity are two principal …

Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare, progressive inflammatory disease that typically affects
one cerebral hemisphere and causes intractable partial-onset seizures. Currently, the only …

BACKGROUND: Antibody mediated anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor
encephalitis is a recently reported diagnosis of clinical importance. Recognition of the …

Ion channels are complex transmembrane proteins that orchestrate the electrical signals
necessary for normal function of excitable tissues, including the central nervous system …

With the present review we aim to summarise current diagnostic criteria and treatment
options of Rasmussen's encephalitis, a chronic inflammatory disease which affects mainly …

Several experimental and clinical studies demonstrated an immunologic basis for different
forms of epilepsy. A wide range of immune abnormalities have been reported suggesting the …

Introduction MRI data is essential for early diagnosis and evaluation of surgical indication in
patients with Rasmussen syndrome (RS). In the present study, we examined the status and …
