-
A rare neuroimmunological disorder characterised by the onset of cognitive decline, psychiatric disturbances and seizures (distinctively faciobrachial dystonic seizures) in association with detection of LGI1 antibodies in serum or cerebrospinal fluid. Patients may present with confusion, hallucinations, vocalisation, paranoia, tangentiality, aggressive outbursts and/or spatial disorientation, as well as obstinate hyponatraemia. It is most often non-paraneoplastic, however comorbid tumours, such as small cell lung cancer and thymoma, have been reported.
