Abstract
In autoimmune encephalitis, abnormalities of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), arterial spin labeling (ASL) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) have been reported. However, there are few studies of long-term follow-up of imaging. We report a case of anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody encephalitis whose MRI (DWI, FLAIR and ASL), 99mTcHM-PAO SPECT (PAO-SPECT) and 18F-FDG-PET were evaluated through the clinical course. ASL, PAO-SPECT and 18F-FDG-PET consistently showed abnormalities in almost the same area. Serial assessment of these imaging modalities is useful in evaluating disease activity and efficacy of treatment.
期刊介绍：
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
