Abstract: Objective This study aimed to evaluate the proportion of patients with seizures and electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and its most common subtypes. Methods This systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) standards and was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). We searched Medline All, Embase, and PsychINFO in Ovid from inception to June 2019 for articles pertain… Show more

“…In such case, EEG might be a more sensitive tool for diagnosis. Recent systematic reviews found that nearly 85% of patients with AE had some abnormality on EEG [ 5 ]. The most common EEG abnormality was slow waves (51.1%).…”

“…The most common EEG abnormality was slow waves (51.1%). Epileptiform discharges appeared in 21.6% of the patients [ 5 ]. Reports of some other studies have described that when epileptic discharges appear in EEG, they are most frequently distributed over the temporal region [ 7 , 8 ].…”
