Core Tip Anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1 (anti-LGI1) encephalitis is a rare autoimmune encephalitis (AE) characterized by acute or subacute cognitive impairment, facio-brachial dystonic seizures, psychiatric disturbances and hyponatremia. Herein, we report that a male patient developed severe anti-LGI1 encephalitis, which was initially misdiagnosed as sleep disturbance. He had antibodies targeting LGI1 both in his cerebrospinal fluid and serum, which led to the diagnosis of typical anti-LGI1 AE. The case indicated that we should be aware of the possibility of LGI1 antibody-associated encephalitis to avoid missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses especially in adolescents with sleep disorders.
