Imaging of Auto-immune Encephalitis

Definition of autoimmune encephalitis, central nervous system disorders, and the entities involved such as inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, antibodies mediated by antimo antibodies, and vasculitis development.

Discussing inflammatory central nervous system disorders characterized by inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, targeting different brain structures, antibodies mediated by antimo antibodies, and dementing disorders like multiple sclerosis.

Classification of autoimmune encephalitis based on antibody targets, distinguishing between two types: cytotoxic T-cell response and antibody-mediated, with better treatment response for the latter.
