Autoimmune encephalitis remains a diagnostic challenge, yet is appreciated as a “not-to-miss” inflammatory disorder. LGI1-Antibody encephalitis is one of the most common forms of autoimmune encephalitis, and shares many clinical features with CASPR2-Antibody encephalitis. This talk explores the clinical presentation of these disorders, contrasts these presentations to other forms of autoimmune encephalitis, and reviews emerging treatment paradigms based on contemporary advances in the underlying molecular immunopathogenesis.
