MeSH Heading: Limbic Encephalitis
Tree Number(s): C01.207.245.700; C04.588.614.550.450; C04.730.856.437; C10.228.140.430.525; C10.228.228.245.700; C10.574.781.550; C10.586.250.525
Unique ID: D020363
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020363
Scope Note: A paraneoplastic syndrome marked by degeneration of neurons in the LIMBIC SYSTEM. Clinical features include HALLUCINATIONS, loss of EPISODIC MEMORY; ANOSMIA; AGEUSIA; TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY; DEMENTIA; and affective disturbance (depression). Circulating anti-neuronal antibodies (e.g., anti-Hu; anti-Yo; anti-Ri; and anti-Ma2) and small cell lung carcinomas or testicular carcinoma are frequently associated with this syndrome.
