“…A chronic form of TBE associated with the Siberian subtype of TBEV that may manifest with epilepsia partialis continua has been described in Siberia and the Far East [130][131][132][133]. A progressive form is unusual in Europe but two cases have been described in Lithuania [116].…”

“…Viral encephalitis may manifest with early seizures or even status epilepticus (convulsive or non-convulsive) in the early phase; early seizures increase a risk for late post-encephalitic epilepsy [130,202,203]. Isolated seizures need to be treated as any other symptomatic epileptic seizure.…”

“…However, many studies that aimed to identify a common pathogenic viral agent have been inconclusive. 76,77 Multiple immune-mediated mechanisms have also been proposed, including an alteration of the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), pathogenic antibodies against the GluR3 subunit of the AMPA receptor, and T cell-mediated cytotoxic neuronal injury. 8,78 However, none of these mechanisms have been definitively established, and there is no explanation for the unilateral brain involvement characteristic of the disorder.…”

The causes of encephalitis are numerous, and extensive investigations for infectious agents and other etiologies are often negative. The discovery that many of these encephalitis are immune mediated has changed the approach to the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Moreover, the broad spectrum of symptoms including, psychosis, catatonia, alterations of behavior and memory, seizures, abnormal movements, and autonomic dysregulation usually requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach. This review focuses in several forms of encephalitis that occur in children, and for which an autoimmune etiology has been demonstrated (eg, anti-Nmethyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis) or is strongly suspected (eg, Rasmussen encephalitis, limbic encephalitis, opsoclonus-myoclonus). The authors also review several disorders that may be immune mediated, such as the rapid onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) syndrome and some encephalopathies with fever and status epilepticus. Recognition of novel immune-mediated encephalitis is important because some of these disorders are highly responsive to immunotherapy. Keywords autoimmune; encephalitis; limbic; anti-NMDA receptor; NMDA Encephalitis refers to an inflammatory disorder of the brain resulting in altered mental status, seizures, or focal neurologic deficits, usually accompanied by signs of inflammation in the cerebrospinal fluid and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings ranging from normal to extensive abnormalities. The causes of encephalitis are numerous, and most patients undergo extensive testing for infectious etiologies without discovery of a causative agent. A study by the California Encephalitis Project, a center focused in the epidemiology and etiology of encephalitis, found that 63% of the patients remained without an etiology after a battery of tests for 16 potential infectious agents. 1 The recent discovery that several
