Journal ArticleDOI
Potassium channel antibody-associated encephalopathy: a potentially immunotherapy-responsive form of limbic encephalitis
Angela Vincent,Camilla Buckley,Jonathan M. Schott,Ian Baker,Bonnie‐Kate Dewar,Niels Detert,Linda Clover,Abigail Parkinson,Christian G. Bien,Salah Omer,Bethan Lang,Martin N. Rossor,Jackie Palace +12 more
TL;DR: VGKC-Ab-associated encephalopathy is a relatively common form of autoimmune, non-paraneoplastic, potentially treatable encephalitis that can be diagnosed by a serological test.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-methyl-d-aspartate antibody encephalitis: temporal progression of clinical and paraclinical observations in a predominantly non-paraneoplastic disorder of both sexes
Sarosh R. Irani,Katarzyna Bera,Patrick Waters,Luigi Zuliani,Susan Maxwell,Michael S. Zandi,Manuel A. Friese,Manuel A. Friese,Ian Galea,Dimitri M. Kullmann,David Beeson,Bethan Lang,Christian G. Bien,Angela Vincent +13 more
TL;DR: Overall, the data support a model in which the early features of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalopathy are associated with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis, and the later features with appearance of oligoclonal bands, which is associated with restriction to the first stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faciobrachial dystonic seizures precede Lgi1 antibody limbic encephalitis.
Sarosh R. Irani,Andrew W. Michell,Bethan Lang,Philippa Pettingill,Patrick Waters,Marvin Johnson,Jonathan M. Schott,Richard J. E. Armstrong,Alessandro S. Zagami,Andrew Bleasel,Ernest Somerville,Shelagh M. J. Smith,Angela Vincent,Angela Vincent +13 more
TL;DR: A distinctive seizure semiology is described that closely associates with voltage‐gated potassium channel (VGKC)‐complex/Lgi1 antibodies and commonly precedes the onset of limbic encephalitis (LE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Morvan syndrome: Clinical and serological observations in 29 cases
Sarosh R. Irani,Philippa Pettingill,Kleopas A. Kleopa,Natasa Schiza,Patrick Waters,Claudio Mazia,Luigi Zuliani,Osamu Watanabe,Bethan Lang,Camilla Buckley,Angela Vincent +10 more
TL;DR: A study was undertaken to describe the clinical spectrum, voltage‐gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex antibody specificities, and central nervous system localization of antibody binding in 29 patients diagnosed with Morvan syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycine receptor antibodies in PERM and related syndromes: characteristics, clinical features and outcomes.
Alexander Carvajal-González,Maria Isabel Leite,Patrick Waters,Mark Woodhall,Ester Coutinho,Bettina Balint,Bethan Lang,Philippa Pettingill,Aisling Carr,U M Sheerin,Press R,Michael P. Lunn,Ming K. Lim,Paul Maddison,Hans-Michael Meinck,Wim Vandenberghe,Angela Vincent +16 more
TL;DR: The first prospective cohort of patients with glycine receptor antibodies are described, with the majority having progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus and making a good recovery with immunotherapies.
