She had no improvement after surgical treatment (Engel IV). Of the 12 patients with subacute onset of additional neurological symptoms, four (33.3%) had antibodies: two anti\u2010GAD, one anti\u2010LGI1, and one anti\u2010Hu. Antibody\u2010positive patients showed later epilepsy onset, had more seizure frequency fluctuations, cutaneous drug reactions, and electrographic seizures compared to antibody\u2010negative patients. All of them had TLE, and anti\u2010GAD cases had refractory unilateral MTLE\u2010HS, musicogenic seizures, and temporal hypermetabolism on interictal FDG\u2010PET.

In our study, we investigated how often these antibodies appear in patients with isolated long\u2010term epilepsy and what clinical or laboratory characteristics are associated with them. We found neuronal antibodies only in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. These antibodies were rare (0.4%) among patients with long\u2010term epilepsy alone and were linked to specific clinical and laboratory features.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/epi4.70096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]],"date-time":"2025-07-15T09:39:32Z","timestamp":1752572372000},"page":"1373-1387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Neuronal surface and intracellular antibody testing in patients with long\u2010term epilepsy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1221-276X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nancy","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Campinas (UNICAMP)  Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0694-9423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelica","family":"Lizcano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Campinas (UNICAMP)  Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T\u00e2nia K.","family":"de Araujo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medicine School of Medical Sciences, University of Campinas (UNICAMP)  Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Campinas (UNICAMP)  Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina K.
