Limbic encephalitis is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system that can be of paraneoplastic or primary autoimmune origin. The disorder is characterized by personality changes, mental status changes, behavior abnormalities, confusion, memory deficits and seizures. In this study we reported a case of limbic encephalitis that accompanied tuberculosis, 53-year old female case who attended our clinic with headache, memory deficits, crying and gait disturbance.
