Sleep disorders (SDs) in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) have received little attention and are poorly understood. We investigated the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and cerebral metabolic mechanism of SD in AE. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were retrospectively reviewed in 121 consec...
