Autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-recoverin antibodies

Our case illustrated the value of testing anti-recoverin antibodies in CSF and provides insights into management and prognosis through a longitudinal 2-year follow-up. Anti-recoverin antibody-related AE is a rare but treatable cause of adult subacute encephalopathy and epilepsy. Prompt and optimized management associating appropriate anti-epileptic drugs and immunotherapies is essential to alleviate sequelae.

Abstract

Our case illustrated the value of testing anti-recoverin antibodies in CSF and provides insights into management and prognosis through a longitudinal 2-year follow-up. Anti-recoverin antibody-related AE is a rare but treatable cause of adult subacute encephalopathy and epilepsy. Prompt and optimized management associating appropriate anti-epileptic drugs and immunotherapies is essential to alleviate sequelae.
