Steroid-responsive focal epilepsy with focal dystonia accompanied by glutamate receptor delta2 antibody
Journal of Neuroimmunology, 05/25/2012
Matsumoto H et al. – The IgG antibody of glutamate receptor δ2 was detected. Ictal and interictal SPECT suggested focal epilepsy in the left frontal cortex. Antibiotic and antiepileptic drugs were ineffective, although steroid pulse therapy effectively diminished the patient's symptoms. Inflammatory mechanisms may have contributed to this disorder.
