Translational approaches to childhood inflammatory brain diseases: a review
As IBrainDs often present subacute and insidious, a high index of suspicion is warranted as often CSF and MRI findings are nonspecific and specific antibody testing, angiography, or brain biopsy are necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Here we will review the main categories of IBrainDs, clinical presentation, and discuss pathophysiologic mechanisms to support treatment choices.
