Abstract:

Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) is a severe autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks NMDA receptors in the brain. Early diagnosis is critical for effective intervention, and it often hinges on detecting specific antibodies. Clinical biomarkers, including electroencephalography (EEG), play a vital role in facilitating early identification. The hallmark EEG patterns of anti-NMDARE are the extreme delta brush pattern and generalized rhythmic delta activity. This paper reviews the EEG features characteristic of anti-NMDARE. In addition to EEG, the potential of microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers in diagnosing and prognosticating anti-NMDARE has garnered attention. This study reveals that both EEG and miRNA biomarkers may provide useful insights for the diagnosis and prognosis of anti-NMDARE, underscoring the importance of combining EEG and miRNA biomarkers for a more accurate and timely clinical assessment.

Encephalitis l: Introduction

Encephalitis l: Introduction

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...
