Autoimmune Encephalitis and Paraneoplastic Syndrome: Current Knowledge and Updates provides an overview of the immune-driven disorders of the nervous system, particularly autoimmune encephalitis. By integrating case studies, flow charts, and clinical examples throughout, the book helps users navigate the complexities of autoimmune encephalitis. Sections also address demographic traits, tumor correlations, and outcomes, equipping readers with essential knowledge for diagnosis and management. With a strong focus on classifying these disorders, defining their pathogenesis and pathophysiology, and examining recent treatment guidelines, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians, neurologists, and researchers in neuroimmunology.
