    In 2019, Xiaobian launched the "Knowledge Card" column, which organizes some clinical disease-related knowledge points in the form of simple and easy-to-save tables, so that clinicians can use fragmented time to learn from the past, which is quite popular with doctor readers! This year, Xiaobian will continue to sort out the clinical knowledge points in the form of a table in order to help
    clinicians.


    Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) includes a group of non-infectious, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the brain parenchy, usually involving the cortex or deep gray matter with or without involvement of white matter, meninges, or spinal cord
    .
    The immune response in AE is usually diffuse, leading to multifocal inflammation of the brain, and occasionally to the meninges, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nervous system
    .
    This diffuse inflammation may or may not be detected on adjunctive testing, but usually leads to multiple syndromes, which are a clinical feature
    of AE.
    Although some antibodies are associated with typical symptoms (e.
    g.
    , oral and mandibular dyskinesia in NMDAR antibody encephalitis, cognitive/behavioral changes, language and autonomic dysfunction, episodes of facial dystonia in LGI1 antibody encephalitis, etc.
    ), there is a clear symptom overlap
    between all antibodies and all forms of AE.
    Symptoms vary depending on the anatomical site of inflammation, and there are several clinical-anatomical syndrome categories in AE, as shown in
    Table 1.
