摘要
INTRODUCTIONDiscovery of the spectrum ofautoimmune encephalitis (ALE) is among the most attractive events of neurology in the past decade. AIE includes a heterogeneous group of encephalitic syndromes, which generally include two major categories: classic paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (LE) associated with the so-called well-characterized onconeural autoantibodies against intracellular neuronal antigens (e.g., Hu, Ma2, etc.) and new-type AIE associated with autoantibodies to the neuronal surface or synaptic antigens.
