Abstract:
The paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare disease. It is caused by the presence of autoantibodies creating an inflammatory reaction of the predominant brain parenchyma in the meso-temporal lobe and in other parts of the limbic system. Its presence requires looking for an underlying tumour. The management of this paraneoplastic syndrome includes an immunosuppressive therapy in addition to the treatment of the underlying tumour. However, the management of this disease is not yet standardized.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
