الملخص EN

Autoantibodies to the γ -aminobutyric acid receptor, subtype B ( G A B A B ), are a known cause of limbic encephalitis.

The spectrum of clinical manifestations attributable to this antibody is not well defined at the present time.

Here we present a case of G A B A B encephalitis presenting with encephalopathy, status epilepticus, dysautonomia, and acute heart failure.

To our knowledge, heart failure and dysautonomia have not yet been reported with this syndrome.
