Title Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Type 1 Autoimmune Encephalitis: A Treatable Cause of Neuro-ophthalmologic Manifestations
Creator Hyun Woo Kim, Parker Bohm, Alfonso Lopez-Chiriboga, Maisha Robinson
Subject Paraneoplastic syndromes, Nystagmus
Description Antibodies directed towards metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 (mGluR1) have been reported in association with a type of cerebellar-predominant autoimmune encephalitis, with less than twenty cases reported. Few data regarding symptoms, comorbid pathology, and response to treatment exists. We report a case of a woman with mGluR1 autoimmune encephalitis who presented with prominent neuro-ophthalmologic signs and symptoms. We report the first recognized association between mGluR1 encephalitis and concurrent metastatic ductal breast carcinoma.
