limbic encephalitis

limbic encephalitis
encephalitis of the limbic system of the rhinencephalon, a type similar to herpes encephalitis, characterized by degenerative changes of the hippocampus and amygdaloid nuclei with memory loss, confusion, seizures, and progressive dementia. There is sometimes an association with tumors elsewhere in the body, although some authorities have linked it to chemotherapy or other tumor treatments.
