N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibody encephalitis is an immunotherapy-responsive panencephalitis. Patients usually present with characteristic clinical features in a specific order. We describe a patient who developed anti NMDA receptor encephalitis with a positive liquor EBV titer, suggesting formation of antibodies including anti NMDA. After a prolonged ICU stay the patient had a slo...

Anti-N-methyl-D aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is often accompanied with ovarian teratomas. It has a variety of clinical manifestations including psychiatric symptoms, seizure, and motor dysfunctions. The diagnosis can be definite when symptoms are present anti-NMDAR antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid detected. However, patients suspected teratomas, early surgery may help the outcome ev...

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (Anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is one of the most commonly emerging autoimmune in children and young adults recent years. Clinical manifestations range from prodromal symptoms to seizures, movement disorder, psychiatric manifestations, cognitive/speech impairment, autonomic dysfunction. Our case presented with initial severe episodic hypertension, sweating, agitati...

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (Anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis is an acute autoimmune neurological disorder that can be triggered by virus, H1N1/tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis and polio vaccines or by presence of a tumor. The association between anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and Japanese encephalitis vaccination was examined and a general protocol of phylogenetic method which details the steps and...

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is probably the most common paraneoplastic encephalitis. In children, seizures, behavioral disturbances and abnormal movements are the most frequent symptoms. Electroencephalogram is abnormal in most patients. We report a child with antiNMDAR encephalitis presenting extreme delta brushes in the EEG. This new EEG feature is described in pat...

BACKGROUND Anti N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is an immune mediated disorder. CASE CHARACTERISTICS A previously healthy 14-year-old girl presenting with generalized tonic clonic seizures and altered behavior. OBSERVATION In view of refractory seizures, hallucinations, psychobehavioral and catalepsy like symptoms, and CSF showing lymphocytic pleocytosis, possibility of au...

N-methyl d-aspartate receptor antibody encephalitis can often be a paraneoplastic manifestation of occult malignancy such as ovarian teratoma and rarely teratoma of mediastinum or testis and small cell lung carcinoma. We report a case of non-paraneoplastic anti-N-methyl d-aspartate receptor antibody-positive autoimmune encephalitis in a young patient who presented with neuropsychiatric features...

BACKGROUND Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a severe autoimmune disorder characterized by severe psychiatric symptoms, seizures, decreased consciousness, autonomic dysregulation, and dyskinesias. Multifocal subcortical white matter lesions on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and diffuse weighted images have rarely been reported in previous literature, and serial magnetic re...
