Title: Epilepsy Versus High Risk of Epilepsy in Autoimmune Encephalitis: An Essential Distinction.
Authors: Budhram, Adrian; Burneo, Jorge G.
Abstract: The article "Epilepsy Versus High Risk of Epilepsy in Autoimmune Encephalitis: An Essential Distinction" published in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences discusses the terminology surrounding seizures related to autoimmune encephalitis. It introduces the concept of "autoimmune encephalitis-associated epilepsy" to distinguish between reversible provoking factors and enduring seizure predispositions. The article emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between epilepsy and a high risk of epilepsy to ensure optimal treatment for patients with seizures related to autoimmune encephalitis. It also highlights the need for further research and collaboration to develop practical definitions for autoimmune encephalitis-associated epilepsy.
