Abstract：
:A 33-year-old woman, with a 7-year clinical history of invasive thymoma treated at ages 26 and 30 years by thymectomy and radiation, presented with a generalized convulsion and loss of consciousness. Following the seizure there was no neurological deficit and normal tendon reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain without gadolinium enhancement revealed multiple small lesions of high signal intensity on T2 and diffusion weighted images located in the cortical area beyond the temporal lobes. Brain biopsy demonstrated encephalitis with activated microglias and activated T-cell infiltration. Within 4 months of treatment with nothing other than anticonvulsant therapy, the lesions visible on the original MRI had completely disappeared and the patient was discharged with no neurological symptoms. The patient subsequently had two more episodes with a variety of symptoms such as incontinence, confusion, aphasia, apallial syndrome, and motor paresis. MRI following these episodes again revealed multiple lesions of similar appearance to those of the first episode, although in different locations, and much larger and more numerous. The patient had steroid pulse therapy after both episodes and the lesions noted on brain MRI disappeared within a few months with minimal neurological complications.
