Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute symptomatic seizures secondary to autoimmune encephalitis and autoimmune-related epilepsy
Acute symptomatic seizures secondary to autoimmune encephalitis refers to seizures that occur during the active stage of immune-mediated encephalitis,and autoimmune-related epilepsy refers to disorders with an immune etiol-ogy and a long-term predisposition to unprovoked seizures.Both diseases often have poor response to antiepileptic drugs,and early identification of immune etiology and initiation of immunotherapy may help patients achieve a good prognosis.However,there are no guidelines for the use of drugs in patients with different types of symptomatic seizures,and there is also a lack of diagnostic criteria and treatment principles for autoimmune-related epilepsy.This article reviews and dis-cusses the two diseases from the aspects of possible pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,and recommended treatment methods,so as to provide a theoretical basis for diagnosis and treatment and help to determine future research directions.
