Serial assessment of multimodality imaging in anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody encephalitis: A case report

In autoimmune encephalitis, abnormalities of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), arterial spin labeling (ASL) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (...

Descripción
Sumario:In autoimmune encephalitis, abnormalities of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), arterial spin labeling (ASL) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET) have been reported. However, there are few studies of long-term follow-up of imaging. We report a case of anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody encephalitis whose MRI (DWI, FLAIR and ASL), (99m)TcHM-PAO SPECT (PAO-SPECT) and (18)F-FDG-PET were evaluated through the clinical course. ASL, PAO-SPECT and (18)F-FDG-PET consistently showed abnormalities in almost the same area. Serial assessment of these imaging modalities is useful in evaluating disease activity and efficacy of treatment.
