Limbic encephalitis can be either non-paraneoplastic or paraneoplastic manifestation of various malignancies such as carcinoma of lung (small cell), ovary, breast, testis, GI tract, hepatobiliary etc. Patients usually present with acute or subacute onset of delirium, seizures, dementia, personality changes, etc. Differentiation between non-paraneoplastic and paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is done by exclusion of malignancy.
