ABSTRACT:Clinical overlap with multiple other neurological diseases makes the diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis challenging; consequently, a broad range of neurological diseases are misdiagnosed as autoimmune encephalitis. A 58-year-old man presented with abnormal behavior, irritability for 3 years, oculomotor disturbance, unsteady walking, and dysphagia and was suspected as having anti-dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein 6 (DPPX) encephalitis as the anti-DPPX antibody was positive in the serum. However, the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy was unsatisfactory. Subsequently, colocalization of increased midbrain signals was observed in neuroinflammation PET using [ 18 F]DPA-714 and in tau PET using [ 18 F]florzolotau, suggesting the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy.
