Neuro-ophthalmology and Autoimmune Encephalitis (NODE) (NODE)

January 25, 2024 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Study of Neuro-ophthalmology Disorders in Autoimmune Encephalitis (NODE)

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.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
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.
Each participant will have a neurovisual assessment and an oculomotor movement recording with an eye tracker (infra red cameras).
