Abstract

There have been several advances in identifying antibody-mediated central nervous system diseases. These are associated with the presence of antibodies to neuronal or glial cell surface proteins, principally ion channels, receptors and associated proteins. Although first described in adults, they are now being identified also in children of all ages. These conditions are important to recognise because they often respond to immunotherapies.
