Abstract
The risk for seizure disorder increased in multiple autoimmune disorder. The raised proinflammatory cytokines and auto antibodies against the neuronal antigen may contribute in the pathogenesis of the seizure disorder. In this case report, we will discuss about a young adult presenting to the ER with seizure disorder and later found to have underlying autoimmune disease.
