Anti-LGI1 autoimmune limbic encephalitis: an easy-to-miss diagnosis
Autoimmune limbic encephalitis is a rare inflammatory neurological disease that affects the limbic system particularly the hippocampus, leading to memory impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms.Due to its wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms, the diagnosis of autoimmune limbic encephalitis may go unnoticed, leading to misdiagnosis as another medical disorder.Early diagnosis is essential to prevent potential neurological sequelae through appropriate treatment.
