Anti-Ma2-Associated Limbic Encephalitis after Termination of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Neurological adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy mostly develop within 3 months after initiation of ICI treatment. An 82-year-old male with malignant pleural mesothelioma developed anti-Ma2-associated limbic encephalitis at a delay of 18 months after the start of nivolumab th...
