Leucine‐rich, glioma‐inactivated (LGI1) antibody encephalitis is a rare autoimmune encephalitis characterized by faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), temporal lobe epilepsy, prominent short‐term memory deficits and altered mental status. FBDS are very brief, frequent stereotypical dystonic seizures of the ipsilateral face, arms and legs. FBDS are often initially unilateral and evolve bilaterally or asynchronously.
