: Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A) is an antibody-related astrocytic disease for which a specific GFAP antibody serves as biological marker. Indeed, cerebral spinal fluid positive and/or seropositivity important basis its diagnosis.

In 2007, a rare form of autoimmune encephalitis was characterized by Dalmau et al. termed as anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis. Although it is more common in young females with ovarian teratomas who often present with psychiatric symptoms for the first time, this case reports a female diagnosed with antiNMDA receptor encephalitis in the absence of a neoplasm and diagno...

Autoimmune encephalitis is one of the most rapidly growing research topics in neurology. Along with discoveries of novel antibodies associated with the disease, clinical experience and outcomes with diverse immunotherapeutic agents in the treatment of autoimmune encephalitis are accumulating. Retrospective observations indicate that early aggressive treatment is associated with better functiona...
