Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Autoimmune encephalitis represents a group of rare and heterogeneous neurological disorders. Pathophysiological mechanisms in these diseases are still unknown. Recently, oculomotor and neurovisual disorders have been described. Cerebral areas and neuronal networks associated with these abnormalities are well described. The investigator proposes to study and describe such neuro-ophthalmological disorders in a prospective cohort of patients with a autoimmune encephalitis, to better understand the pathophysiological basis of this neurological condition.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: oculomotor movement recordings, neurovisual assessment

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
1

Patients in the study group have a diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis, are 18 to 70 years old, and have no significant comorbidity such as psychiatric, neurological conditions and able to understand the aim of this study.

Other: oculomotor movement recordings, neurovisual assessment
Each participant will have a neurovisual assessment and an oculomotor movement recording with an eye tracker (infra red cameras).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of patients presenting a neuro-ophthalmological abnormality. [Day 0]

    A neuro-ophthalmological disorder is defined as an abnormality in the oculo-motor movement recording or/and the presence of a neurovisual impairment.

  2. Percentage of patients presenting neuro-ophthalmological abnormality. [At 6 months if an abnormality is found]

    A neuro-ophthalmological disorder is defined as an abnormality in the oculo-motor movement recording or/and the presence of a neurovisual impairment.
