SUDEP
Low interictal HCVR may increase the risk of severe respiratory depression and SUDEP after GCS and warrants further study.
These findings indicate that autoantibodies can induce seizures in anti-NMDAR encephalitis and offer a model for testing novel therapies for refractory autoimmune seizures.
