Abstract
Limbic encephalitis is a rare disorder that is diagnosed primarily on the basis of clinical criteria and is often associated with the presence of a paraneoplastic antibody. However, lack of a positive paraneoplastic antibody in a patient with a triad of seizure, behavioral changes, and short-term memory loss does not exclude the diagnosis. The unique presentation in a seronegative patient may indicate an unrecognized antibody.
