Our patient had a severe progressive course with early disability and axonal damage, and slow recovery starting only a few months after antibody-depleting therapy. The close correlation between titer, disability and treatment, supports the pathogenicity of Caspr1 antibodies, and suggest that their longitudinal evaluation might provide a potential biomarker to evaluate treatment response.
