Figures & data

Figure 1. Neuroimages, electroencephalographic findings and paraneoplastic panel of the subject. (A) Serum paraneoplastic panel showed a positive band in anti-recoverin autoantibody region. (B) Electroencephalography showing nearly continuous generalized quasiperiodic sharp slow or sharp-and slow waves at 1–2 Hz, 50–100 uV, with emphasis in posterior head areas. (C-D) Axial view of brain magnetic resonance imaging diffusion weighted imaging showing hyperintensity over bilateral parieto-temporo-occipital lobes (arrowheads) and bilateral putamen and caudate nuclei (arrow), but no contrast enhancement in T1-weighted image.

Note: (Co: control. Rec: anti-recoverin autoantibody)
