Morvan Disease

📋Overview

Morvan Disease is categorized within the spectrum of autoimmune encephalitis and neuromyotonia syndromes. This rare disorder involves the production of antibodies that target voltage-gated potassium channel complexes, specifically proteins such as LGI1 and CASPR2.

The condition typically manifests through neurological pathways affecting both the peripheral and central nervous systems. While historically known as Morvan syndrome, clinical observation often classifies it as autoimmune encephalitis with peripheral nerve hyperexcitability.
