A Case of Dipeptidyl-Peptidase-Like Protein-6 (DPPX) Autoantibody Mediated Autoimmune Encephalitis with Prominent Abnormal Movements During Sleep (P6.140)

Conclusions: We report a case of autoimmune encephalitis due to antibodies against DPPX, which featured a fluctuating course and prominent abnormal movements, which persisted during sleep. Diarrhea, previously associated with DPPX associated encephalitis, was absent. This case highlights the clinical heterogeneity of autoimmune encephalitis and the diagnostic challenges that can lead to treatment delays.Disclosure: Dr. Gusdon has nothing to disclose.
