Anti-dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein 6 (
DPPX
) encephalitis is a rare type of autoimmune encephalitis. We present a case of a 72-year-old male with anti-
DPPX
encephalitis who developed rapidly progressive cognitive decline, psychiatric and sleep problems, severe
abdominal pain
and diarrhea. Antibodies against
DPPX
were positive both in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

No related tumors were found, and the patient responded to immunotherapy without relapse at the 3-year follow-up. The present case enriches the understanding of the clinical, imaging manifestations and prognosis of anti-
DPPX
encephalitis.
