The relationship between limbic encephalitis and seizures boils down to the disorder’s impact on the brain. When inflammation occurs within the limbic system, it disrupts the normal electrical activity of the brain, leading to seizures. This uncontrolled electrical activity can range from minor, almost unnoticeable twitches to full-blown convulsions that impact the entire body.
Not only are seizures distressing to witness, but they also bear potential risks for the individual experiencing them. Seizures can lead to injury due to falls, biting of the tongue or inside of the mouth, and even prolonged lack of oxygen to the brain in extreme cases. (3)
