DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2017.09.039
Abstract: Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1(LGI1) antibodies are frequently associated with a common form of limbic encephalitis (LE) presenting with cognitive impairment, tonic-clonic and distinctive facio-brachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), not related with a specific EEG pattern. We… read more here.
