I have autoimmune diseases, so I wondered about it.
I've never heard of autoimmune epilepsy but I do know about autoimmune diseases that cause epilepsy. And in that case it depends on the disorder and how it affects the eeg. Every seizure we see a specific wave form. Different health disorders will cause certain artifacts of what we call variants to show. We may see what's called "slowing" in the brain just meaning the brain waves are slower than we would normally see. Sorry I don't know if I answered your question at all.
(crack knockles) what do you need to know? i have auto immune e. on to the questions... how do i test it... with a food eeg test. actual seizures and eeg test, yes and yes. i have food seizures. what happen is i have celiac disease (permanent gut problem) (sence birth) (attacks the weakest link). it was in the 90's. i was diegnoed with idiopathic seizures (i don't know seizures). mom knew that it had something in the gut. dr's wanna get this $1,000 test (probably $50,000 now). we didn't have that so we got the next best thing, a 1-2 hour eeg test and i had a gluten pizza (pizza was next to the hospital). within 10 minutes, i had seizures. i had auras, simple partials (focal onset awareness), complex partials (focal onset impared awareness), and grand mals (tonic-clonic) seizures. with that i re diegnosed with food triggers.

Doctors can see my auras recorded by my RNS.
I don't know what autoimmune epilepsy is. But do know it would most likely show up on an EEG since is causing a seizure, an enhanced electrical impulse from the brain, and a EEG monitors the brain waves. Unless that type of seizure falls under the category to be an unknown seizure. Which are unlikely.
