Résumé
We report the case of a 55-year-old man presenting pseudopsychiatric behavior disorders of subacute-onset. MRI showed a FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) hyperintensity in the left hippocampus. The diagnosis of limbic encephalitis was raised, and the patient was referred for an 18F-FDG PET/CT. PET/CT depicted an increased uptake of the left mesiotemporal structures and also an increased uptake of both cerebellum and striatal areas. This pattern was compatible with an anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody encephalitis that was later confirmed.
