    GABABR-Mediated Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis Due To Thymic Small Cell Carcinoma

    We report the case of a 55-year-old male who presented with several weeks of seizures, agitation, progressive confusion, and receptive aphasia. CSF showed a monocytic pleocytosis and tested positive for GABAB receptor autoantibodies. Pathological …

    Co-expression of NMDA-receptor subunits NR1, NR2A, and NR2B in dysplastic neurons of teratomas in patients with paraneoplastic NMDA-receptor-encephalitis: a retrospective clinico-pathology study of 159 patients

    Anti–N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) is a major type of autoimmune encephalitis with more than 1000 reported cases since the discovery of autoantibodies against the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor in 2007 [ 9 , 24 ]. In …

    Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2): a new target of autoimmunity in paraneoplastic encephalitis

    Onconeural antibodies are associated with cancer and paraneoplastic encephalitis. While their pathogenic role is still largely unknown, their high diagnostic value is undisputed. In this study we describe the discovery of a novel target of …
