Limbic encephalitis is the inflammation of the medial temporal lobe structures due to direct infectious or indirect autoimmune etiology. Sarcoidosis is a rare cause of limbic encephalitis, has been reported by some authors. Association has also been reported between sarcoidosis, myasthenia gravis, and limbic encephalitis. We report an interesting case of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography demonstrating limbic encephalitis and sarcoidosis in a known case of myasthenia gravis.
边缘叶脑炎是指由于直接感染或间接自身免疫病因导致的内侧颞叶结构炎症。结节病是边缘叶脑炎的一种罕见病因,已有一些作者报道过。也有报道称结节病、重症肌无力与边缘叶脑炎之间存在关联。我们报告了一例有趣的病例,氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描显示,在一例已知的重症肌无力患者中存在边缘叶脑炎和结节病。
