O 17: Childhood Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
Anti N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDR) encephalitis has been recognized as the most frequent autoimmune encephalitis in children after acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM).However due to the variable the variable clinical presentation, the paucity of specific finding on standard laboratory and radiological investigation remains under recognized. First discribed in 2005, most commonly...
متن کاملHemiataxia: A Novel Presentation of Anti-NMDA Receptor Antibody Mediated Encephalitis in an Adolescent
Anti-NMDA receptor antibody associated encephalitis as a cause of new-onset neuropsychiatric manifestations in children and adults can represent a significant diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Clinical signs often include encephalopathy, new-onset psychosis, and movement phenomenon. Although orofacial dyskinesias were initially identified as a characteristic movement phenomenon in this type ...
متن کاملAnti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
In recent years, the discovery of antibodies to specific neuronal antigens that then go on to cause encephalitis has gone a long way to change the investigation and management of a potential encephalitic process. These have now become known under the umbrella term of the ‘autoimmune encephalitides’. In this article we look at antiN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, a condition most ofte...
متن کاملNMDA receptor antibody encephalitis.
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody encephalitis is a recently described immunotherapy-responsive panencephalitis with characteristic features that include a psychiatric onset and a later movement disorder. This entity was first described as a paraneoplastic phenomenon in young women with ovarian teratomata. However, more recently it has become clear that the majority of patients, pa...
متن کاملNMDA Receptor Antibody Associated Encephalitis: Unexplained Encephalitis
Introduction N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate receptors and responsible for controlling memory function and synaptic plasticity. 1 Activation of these receptors requires binding with glutamate or aspartate. These receptors are present in the limbic system, hypothalamus, and forebrain. 2 Binding of antibodies to these receptors lead to their removal from synaptic sites, thus l...
