Movement disorders in cell surface antibody mediated autoimmune encephalitis: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an increasingly recognized neuroinflammatory disease entity in which early detection and treatment leads to the best clinical outcomes. Movement disorders occur in AE but their characteristics are not well defined.

Objectives

To identify the frequency, classification, and prognostic significance of movement disorders in AE.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of movement disorders in cell surface antibody mediated AE. The frequency of any movement disorder as well as the classification of movement disorders in AE serotypes was determined. We looked at adults 18 years and older and included publications that described at least 10 cases. We used the following four electronic databases: Medl
