Abstract: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a kind of encephalitis mediated by autoimmune mechanism. Cognitive impairment is one of the main manifestations of AE at acute phase. Cognitive impairment is also found during long-term follow-up in some AE patients who have good prognosis after immunotherapy or tumor resection. In addition, the proportion of patients with long-term cognitive impairment, main cognitive impairment domains and risk factors are different in various types of AE. This paper summarizes the cognitive impairment in different types of AE, hoping to improve the clinicians' understanding of cognitive impairment in AE.
