Abstract
To the Editor, In a recently published clinical commentary (Dericioglu et al., 2013), two patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis were referred to the neurological ICU with a diagnosis of status epilepticus. Prolonged video-EEG monitoring, however, showed that, for both patients, dyskinesias were not associated with ictal EEG changes. Antiepileptic therapy was not increased and the patients eventually improved with immunotherapy. The authors advised caution in order to avoid mistaking dyskinesias for seizures, and suggested that video-EEG monitoring be used to help differentiate between the two.
