GABA-B Receptor Encephalitis Triggered by Enterovirus Encephalitis in a Patient With Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report.

Abstract

Encephalitis with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-B receptor antibodies (GABA-B receptor encephalitis) is known to have underlying neoplastic condition in half of the cases; however, there could be an additional event that could work as a trigger factor. Here, we report a patient with GABA-B receptor encephalitis associated with small cell lung cancer, which was probably triggered by enterovirus encephalitis.
