Challenging Cases in Neuroimmunology.

Neuroimmunology is rapidly evolving field extending from well-known, but incompletely understood conditions like multiple sclerosis, to novel antibody-mediated disorders, of which dozens have been described in the past 10 years. The ongoing expansion in knowledge needed to effectively diagnose and treat these patients presents myriad challenges for clinicians. Here, we discuss six informative cases from our institution. By highlighting these challenging cases, we hope to instill fundamental points on the nuances of diagnosis and management for conditions including tumefactive multiple sclerosis, antibody-mediated encephalitis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, neuromyelitis optica, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG-associated disease.
