Chorea and parkinsonism associated with autoantibodies to IgLON5 and responsive to immunotherapy

Ren Haitao et al. J Neuroimmunol. .

Abstract

Encephalopathy associated with autoantibodies to IgLON5 is a novel syndrome characterized by a distinct sleep disorder and brain-stem involvement. Since the initial description of this encephalopathy in 2014, only a few additional patients have been reported (Simabukuro et al., 2015). In this paper, we report a new case of anti-IgLON5 antibodies with major symptoms of chorea and parkinsonism, and responsive to immunotherapy.
