Abstract:
The aim of this article is to conduct an overview of the current state of knowledge about patients presenting anti-Nmethyl- D-aspartate receptor encephalitis associated with neoplastic process, as well as diagnosis and treatment. This disease concerns mainly young women and correlates with ovarian teratoma. Most important problems seems to be the difficulties in making a proper diagnosis ensuing from the rarity of this syndrome, the period from the appearance the first symptoms to starting treatment and the correct handling of intensive care complications. There are only a few articles describing severe, complicated cases of this type of encephalitis, requiring treatment in an intensive care unit.

Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...
