Abstract

Encephalitis caused by antibodies targeting the leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 protein receptor, which belongs to the anti-voltage-gated potassium channel receptor complex, is characterized by hyponatremia, progressive cognitive impairment, seizures, and psychiatric disorders. The patient initially presented with faciobrachial dystonic seizures and subsequently developed encephalopathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed atypical unilateral hyperintense signals in the cerebral cortex and white matter. Intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy effectively improved faciobrachial dystonic seizures and brain lesions.
