A Survival Case of Super-refractory Status Epilepticus due to?Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies-associated Limbic Encephalitis

摘要

Limbic encephalitis?(LE)?is a neurological?syndrome?that mainly affects mesial?temporal lobes.?It may present in association with cancer?or?infection. Limbic encephalitis associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (anti-GAD) is rare. Here, we report a case of anti-GAD?limbic encephalitis?to heighten the awareness of this rare?cause of autoimmune encephalitis.?Anti-GAD-associated epilepsy is often poorly responsive to seizure medications. Treatment is challenging. Early initiation of immunotherapy?is important.
