Background:

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a severe autoimmune neurological disorder.
It is frequently associated with ovarian teratomas, particularly in young women.

Observation:

A 20-year-old woman presented with acute psychosis, altered consciousness, neck stiffness, facial dyskinesia, and abdominal distension.
Pelvic MRI revealed bilateral ovarian teratomas, and NMDAR antibodies were detected in her cerebrospinal fluid.

Findings:

Surgical resection of the ovarian teratomas and immunotherapy led to significant neurological recovery.
The patient was discharged with minimal deficits after 105 days of hospitalization.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering NMDAR encephalitis in young women with unexplained neurological and psychiatric symptoms.
Emergency physicians and intensivists must be aware of this treatable condition, which often requires intensive care management.
Prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment, including tumor removal and immunotherapy, improve patient outcomes and reduce long-term neurological sequelae.
