Encefalitis límbica por anticuerpos anticanales de potasio dependientes de voltaje: Caso clínico
Limbic encephalitis (LE) can be associated to cancer, viral infection or be idiopathic. One form is associated to voltage dependent potassium channel (VKC) antibodies. The clinical presentation includes impairment of consciousness, amnesia and temporal lobe seizures; typical abnormalities are also f...
