Abstract

Steroid-responsive encephalopathy is a general term for diseases that are characterized by diffuse brain injury and respond well to corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents, including Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE), limbic encephalitis (LE), systemic lupus erythematosus encephalopathy (SLEE), antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis encephalopathy (AASV), viral encephalitis (VE), and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Epilepsy and status epilepticus are the main manifestations of steroid-responsive encephalopathy. The spectrum of "autoimmune epilepsy" diseases, which has been approved by the epilepsy diagnostic recommendations of the International Antiepileptic League, is characterized by a high prevalence of epilepsy in central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases and a variety of neuron-specific autoantibodies. Steroid-responsive encephalopathy with different causes may have different pathogeneses and has been suggested to be associated with some internal commonality producing seizure as the main symptom. Determining the regularity of seizures caused by steroid-responsive encephalopathy and implementing appropriate measures will help us improve the prognosis of patients...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
