Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a significant autoimmune neurological disorder.
  • Its initial symptoms often overlap with psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, complicating early identification.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient with NMDA-R antibodies, presenting initially with symptoms mimicking psychiatric exacerbation.
  • The report highlights the challenges in achieving a timely diagnosis for this potentially curable but lethal condition.

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the difficulties encountered in the prompt diagnosis of anti-NMDA-R encephalitis.
  • It addresses the diagnostic criteria and outlines a treatment algorithm for this autoimmune encephalitis.
