Semiological seizure classification was performed according to Cleveland criteria[6] plus
faciobrachial dystonic (FBD) seizures.
His brief seizures like faciobrachial dystonic seizures and cognitive dysfunction were also reported during his clinical follow-up in our clinic.
First video-EEG-PSG recordings revealed loss of sleep architecture with very frequent faciobrachial seizures.
During his second video-EEG-PSG recordings faciobrachial dystonic seizures were no longer present.
Faciobrachial localization and hyponatremia can serve as clues for LGI1-associated LE.
Faciobrachial Dystonic Seizure (FBDS) is a rare form of epilepsy characterized by frequent brief seizures, which primarily affect the arm and face.

Neurological examination revealed a slight right
faciobrachial hemiparesis and a postural tremor of the right arm, but, after a couple of hours, the neurological examination resulted to be normal.
Faciobrachial dystonic seizures and temporal lobe epilepsy with amygdala enlargement may be the characteristic type of seizure in anti-LGI1 encephalitis.[sup][19],[20],[21] Recently, Li et al .[sup][22] described a negative myoclonus in a Chinese child with anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
Faciobrachial dystonic seizures precede Lgil antibody limbic encephalitis.
Here, we report an RE patient with faciobrachial dystonic attacks and bilateral brain atrophy but without seizures.
During the follow-up, the patient's neurological deficits progressed, and he developed faciobrachial dystonic attacks 2 years later, which demonstrated as paroxysmal unilateral involuntary movements of the left arm and face, lasting about 5 min and occurring several times a day.
