Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an immune response against neuronal antigens which are classified as cell surface antigens, synaptic antigens, and intraneuronal antigens [1]. The type of epileptic seizures or movement disorders can help the clinical differential diagnosis of AE since certain types are accepted to be strongly associated with a particular AE. Here, we report an interesting case with voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex antibodies and orofacial dyskinesia, documented with [...]
