Expanded phenotypes and outcomes among 256 LGI 1/ CASPR 2‐ I g G –positive patients

Older age is a strong predictor of CNS involvement in patients seropositive for CASPR2-IgG or LGI1-IgG. Pain, peripheral manifestations, and stereotypic paroxysmal dizziness spells are common with LGI1-IgG. Response to initial immunotherapy is often favorable, but some patients remain severely disabled, requiring long-term immunotherapy and/or antiepileptic medications. Ann Neurol 2017;82:79-92.
