Also from my reading today, cerebral amyloid angiopathy is apparently associated with increased risk of isolated subdural hematomas - perhaps due to leptomeningeal amyloidosis!
4R and 3R neural tau deposits are seen in the hypothalamus and tegmentum - probably a late secondary complication of the early immune process
It is a connection between autoimmune encephalitis and neurodegeneration!
Conditions that anti-IgLON5 disorders can mimic:
- OSA
- REM sleep behavior disorder
- PSP
- MSA
- Alzheimer's disease
- ALS
- Morvan syndrome
The constellation of symptoms that makes me think of it is insidious cognitive or motor issues with disordered sleep and breathing
I am very glad to be part of this paper that explored the risk factors of seizures in patients with sickle cell disease. We got it recently published! #neurotwitter https://t.co/qekTgkfUhu
