Autoimmune encephalitis is a category of autoantibody‐mediated neurological disorders that often presents a diagnostic challenge due to its variable clinical and imaging findings. The purpose of this image‐based review is to provide an overview of the major subtypes of autoimmune encephalitis and their associated autoantibodies, discuss their characteristic clinical and imaging features, and highlight several disease processes that may mimic imaging findings of autoimmune encephalitis. A literature search on autoimmune encephalitis was performed and publications from neuroradiology, neurology, and nuclear medicine literature were included. Cases from our institutional database that best exemplify major imaging features were presented.
