Early Institution of Immunotherapy Alters the Course of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With GAD65 Antibody

In patients presenting with new-onset seizures characterized by unusual semiology and frequent focal aware seizures, it is crucial to consider GAD65-TLE in the list of potential diagnoses. Delayed diagnosis may lead to resistance to both ASMs and immunotherapy. This case report emphasizes how prompt identification and early initiation of immunotherapy can significantly impact the course of the disease.

Abstract

In patients presenting with new-onset seizures characterized by unusual semiology and frequent focal aware seizures, it is crucial to consider GAD65-TLE in the list of potential diagnoses. Delayed diagnosis may lead to resistance to both ASMs and immunotherapy. This case report emphasizes how prompt identification and early initiation of immunotherapy can significantly impact the course of the disease.
