Abstract
Autoimmune encephalitis is an increasingly recognized, life-threatening disorder that, because of its variable clinical presentations, poses a diagnostic challenge in the intensive care setting. Patients with autoimmune encephalitis often need to be in an intensive care unit for management of life-threatening complications commonly related to multifocal nervous system involvement that includes status epilepticus, cognitive decline and behavioral changes, psychosis, and autonomic instability.
