Stroke-like presentation of autoimmune chorea with positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies: a case report.

With the in-depth study of autoimmune encephalitis, more and more antibody combinations and clinical manifestations appear in our sights, enriching the spectrum of autoimmune encephalitis. Here, we report a case of a 58-year-old male patient with sudden involuntary movement of the left limb. The brain MRI was normal. CSF analysis showed slightly elevated protein (548.38 mg/L) and normal cell count(1.00 10^6/L). No tumors were detected by the whole-body PET-CT. Positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies were found in the blood. So we considered the diagnosis of autoimmune chorea with positive anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies, after immunoglobulin shock and methylprednisolone shock therapy were used, the patient's involuntary movement gradually disappeared. This is the first case of autoimmune encephalitis with both anti-Yo and anti-MOG antibodies, and stroke-like chorea is also rare. This case enriches the clinical presentation of double antibody-associated encephalitis.
