Objective: This study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) associated with anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase 65 (GAD65).
Patients And Methods: From Jan 2016 to Aug 2018, three patients diagnosed as anti-GAD65 AE in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed for their general demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology, brain imaging, EEG, treatment and prognosis.
Results: We found that Anti-GAD65 AE may be more common in young and middle-aged women, with initial presentations of refractory status epilepticus or cognitive decline following the disease progresses, but with less psychiatric symptoms than other types of AEs.
