Anti GAD65 Encephalopathy Presenting with Reversible Encephalopathy and Orofacial Dyskinesias
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Anti GAD65 antibodies have been implicated predominantly in limbic encephalitis in addition to systemic disorders like Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Here a patient presenting with seizures, behavior disturbances, memory and gait abnormalities and peculiar orofacial dyskinesias is reported, who was found to have high titre positivity of Anti-GAD 65 and excellent therapeutic response to steroids, suggesting that this could be an additional phenotype for the encephalopathy caused by this antibody.
