Voltage Gated Calcium Channels Antibody-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis (P5.228)

Our patient's initial improvement with steroids and plasma exchange in the face of a negative CT and PET suggests a primary autoimmune process rather than a paraneoplastic etiology, though we admit that it is premature to rule out remission and we will continue to follow herDisclosure: Dr. Alwaki has nothing to disclose.

Corticobasal syndrome associated with antiphospholipid syndrome without cerebral infarction
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare autoimmune coagulopathy with various systemic and neurologic symptoms. Ischemic stroke and TIA are common neurologic manifestations of APS, while migraine, epilepsy, chorea, and multiple sclerosis–like syndromes have also been reported.1,2 Dementia is an unusual manifestation of APS, and the presentation of APS with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) has rarely been reported.3,4 CBS is a progressive neurologic syndrome characterized by asymmetric cortical dysfunction, such as apraxia, alien limb phenomenon, or cortical sensory changes accompanied by akineto-rigid syndrome or dystoni...
