Figure 1

Magnet resonance imaging in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and anti-leucine rich glioma inactivated 1 protein encephalitis patients. Magnet resonance images from patient 1 with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis ( A-B ) and patient 2 with anti-leucine rich glioma inactivated 1 protein syndrome ( C-D ) are shown. In the top row (A - axial T2w-fluid attenuated inversion recovery image, B - coronal T1 weighted image with contrast enhancement) bilateral T2w-fluid attenuated inversion recovery signal hyperintensities of the corpus amygdaloideum and of the right hippocampus (arrows) are demonstrated. There is no contrast enhancement in the area of the T1w-signal drop of the medial temporal lobe bilaterally (b, arrows). In the bottom row (C – axial and d – coronal T2w-fluid attenuated inversion recovery image) there is a marked T2w-fluid attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity of the left medial temporal lobe (C – arrow), which also extends to the hippocampus (D – arrow).
