case_images: Brain magnetic resonance imaging at first administration. (A) T1-weighted image. (B) T2-weighted image. (C) Flair sequence. (D) Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image of the right temporal lobe. (E) Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image of the transverse sinus. The white arrow indicates the filling defect of right transverse sinus. (F) MRV scanning. The black arrow indicates the interruption of blood flow at the junction of the right Labbe vein and right transverse sinus.

case_images: At this time, autoimmune encephalitis antibody analysis showed that both NMDA receptor antibody and GABAB receptor antibodywere positive in the blood (NMDAR receptor antibody titer 1:10, GABAB receptor antibody titer 1:10) and CSF (NMDA receptor antibody titer 1:10, GABAB receptor antibody titer 1:1) (Figure 2).
case_images: Brain magnetic resonance imaging at follow-up. (A) Flair sequence before discharge. (B) MRV scanning at four-month follow-up. The black arrow indicates the interruption of blood flow at the junction of the right Labbe vein and right transverse sinus. (C) Flair sequence at four-month follow-up.

case_images: The right temporal lobe lesion was partially absorbed on a follow-up brain MRI scanning before discharge (Figure 3A). The stenosis at the junction of the right Labbe vein and transverse sinus remained unchanged and the right temporal lobe lesion nearly completely disappeared (Figures 3B, C).
