VGKC Complex Antibody Encephalitis

VGKC Complex Antibody Encephalitis is a neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly targets proteins associated with the Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) complex in the brain. This immune attack causes inflammation, leading to symptoms like memory issues, confusion, seizures, and behavioral changes. It is a type of autoimmune encephalitis, often responsive to immunotherapy such as steroids or plasma exchange. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes, as the condition can significantly affect brain function if left untreated.
