Atypical Neurological Disorder Presenting as Autoimmune Encephalitis in a Turkish Patient

Abstract

Autoimmune encephalitis is a rare but serious condition affecting the central nervous system. This case report describes a 30-year-old female from Istanbul, Turkey, who presented with acute confusion, seizures, and memory loss. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and MRI findings were suggestive of autoimmune encephalitis. Treatment with high-dose steroids and immunoglobulin therapy resulted in significant clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in neurological autoimmune diseases.
