Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease causing myelin and axon damage through inflammatory and autoimmune processes. Despite affecting millions worldwide, understanding its genetic pathways remains limited. The choroid plexus (ChP) has been studied in neurodegenerative processes and diseases like MS due to its dysregulation, yet its role in MS pathophysiology remains unclear.

Post-streptococcal autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders (PANDAS) are a group of pathological condition characterized by sudden-onset obsessive-compulsive and tic disorders following beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group A (GAS) infection, hypothesized to be caused by autoimmune mechanisms targeting the basal ganglia. Scant literature is available regarding the microbiota composition in children with PANDAS, however few studies support the hypothesis that streptococcal infections may alter gut microbiota composition in these patients, leading to chronic inflammation that may impact the brain function and behavior. Notable changes include reduced microbial diversity and shifts in bacterial populations, which affect metabolic functions crucial for neuroinflammation.

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-GluK2 antibodies is a recently identified condition, typically characterized by cerebellar ataxia. This case report presents a unique clinical manifestation involving involuntary movements and emotional dysregulation, expanding the known phenotype spectrum.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of involuntary movements predominantly affecting her lower limbs and facial muscles, occasionally accompanied by hysterical shouting.
