case_images: Imaging findings. (A) Brain computed tomography (CT) of the patient on onset of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) revealing relatively normal findings, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (B) showing scattered ischemic lesions under the bifrontal cortex. Cranial MRI at (C) 1 and (D) 6 months (1 year after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant) after AE onset showing no significant changes when compared with previous imaging findings.

case_images: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted 3 days later showed scattered ischemic lesions under the bifrontal cortex (Figure 1). Cranial MRI performed after treatment showed no significant changes compared with prior imaging findings (Figure 1). One year after allo-HSCT, cranial MRI (Figure 1) and whole-body PET-CT revealed no obvious abnormalities.
