[Autoimmune synaptic encephalitis is a disease entity on the rise].
The term autoimmune synaptic encephalitis (ASE) comprises encephalitides associated with autoantibodies against structures of the neuronal synapse. We review four types of ASE (anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, anti-α-amine-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptor encephalitis, anti-gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor 1 encephalitis and anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 encephalitis) including their epidemiology, clinical characteristics and treatment.
