چکیده
Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis has only recently been described as a cause of paraneoplastic and autoimmune encephalitis (Dalmau et al. 2008). Herein we present a 13-year-old girl with NMDAR encephalitis characterized by acute mania at onset, which was initially misdiagnosed as a primary psychiatric disorder. No evidence of a tumor was found. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administrated (table) and full recovery occurred 19 months after onset.
