CLINICAL CASE OF AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS IN A PREGNANT WOMAN
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent decades, the interest of neurologists, psychiatrists, and doctors of other specialties in the problem of autoimmune encephalitis has been steadily increasing.
Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of neurological diseases in which autoantibodies to the intra and extracellular structures of the neuron, which act as antigens, have been verified. The number of patients diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis is growing, but the combination of autoimmune encephalitis and pregnancy is rare.
We present to your attention our observation of a case of limbic encephalitis during pregnancy.
