ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Anti-IgLON5 disease is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by diverse clinical manifestations.

We present a rare case of anti-IgLON5 disease and performed a comprehensive systematic review of all published cases to expand the clinical spectrum of this disorder.

A systematic review was performed of electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang and VIP China Science.
