A case of autoimmune limbic encephalitis in a patient with behcet’s disease

Abstract

Behcet’s disease is well known to have neurological manifestations, most usually as a consequence of focal parenchymal lesions or vascular thrombosis. We report a case of autoimmune limbic encephalitis in a patient with Behcet’s disease, that was highly responsive to immunoglobulins and steroid, which ultimately prevented mortality, and reduced comorbidity. We also review the investigation and management of non-paraneoplastic, or autoimmune limbic encephalitis.
