[Neuropsychopathology of autoimmune encephalitis with anti-NMDA receptor antibodies]

Autoimmune encephalitis with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies is a neuropsychiatric disorder, with a psychopathological aspect in its early evolutionary phases, which often leads to psychiatric hospitalizations. This pathology is usually curable without sequelae. Its prognosis depends on the early diagnosis and therapeutic management. It is therefore important to mention this disorder when faced with any sudden neuropsychiatric presentation, especially if it is somewhat atypical and the subject is young.
