Limbic encephalitis (LE) is characterized by short-term memory loss, disorientation, agitation, seizures, and histological evidence of mesial temporal lobe inflammation. Leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is the autoantigen associated with limbic encephalitis that was previously attributed to voltage-gated potassium channels. We report herein a 54-year-old female with LGI1-related limbic encephalitis who presented with recurrent episodes of episodic memory impairment, depressive mood, and phantosmia. Her symptoms dramatically improved with steroid therapy.

Anterior cerebral artery (ACA) dissection with simultaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral infarction is very rare and its treatment continues to be debates. We present a case of simultaneous SAH and cerebral infarction caused by dissection of the ACA that was successfully treated by bypass surgery and an endovascular procedure.
