IT-DEX and B cell depletion in a child with anti-GAD 65 autoimmune encephalitis presenting as NORSE: A case report
New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a devastating clinical condition that often leads to severe disability. Intrathecal dexamethasone (IT-DEX) has been reported to improve refractory status epilepticus. We present an 11-year-old female with anti-GAD 65 encephalitis presenting as NORSE who had minimal response to standard anti-seizure medications and first-line immunotherapies. The patient received 6 doses of IT-DEX in conjunction with rituximab which correlated with subsequent decreased neuroinflammation, reduced seizure burden and aided in weaning anesthetic infusions. Our case with literature review suggests IT-DEX may be utilized as an early intervention in those with refractory status epilepticus from various etiologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication.
