Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are being used increasingly in the treatment of several cancers and have been associated with neurological complications including immune inhibitor-induced encephalitis (ICI-iE). We present two cases ICI-iE novel agent dostarlimab, which to our knowledge first reported this agent. These add growing body literature on ICI-iE, demonstrating meningoencephalitis dostarlimab treated successfully prednisone. As imaging studies may be unrevealing, clinicians must...
