A case of unusual presentation with anti-glycine receptor (GlyR) and myelin oligodentrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody

Abstract

Movement disorders can be a prominent feature in autoimmune encephalitis. Here we present a rare case of a 73-year-old woman, who presented with a complex phenotype with encephalopathy, parkinsonism, cervical dystonia, left-sided hemidystonia and hemifacial spasm of subacute onset and was found to have breast cancer and positive anti-Glycine Receptor (GlyR) and Myelin Oligodentrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies.
