A Unique Clinic for Rare Autoimmune Neurologic Disorders
A patient presents with severe encephalopathy and new-onset seizures with no apparent cause. They've had no stroke, no new medications, and no detectable tumor. The symptoms progress rapidly over a few days to weeks, putting the patient in the ICU with debilitating seizures. Maybe there are signs of neurological impairment due to the immune system’s response to a cancer. Or perhaps there are bewildering symptoms such as severe rigidity starting in the back and abdominal muscles, often mistaken for back spasms before spreading throughout the body. These are all symptoms that can signal a rare autoimmune neurologic disease, which are challenging to detect and even harder to manage.
