Anti- Nmda Receptor Encephalitis : A Case Series

Abstract

Auto immune encephalitis comprises an expanding group of clinical syndromes that can occur at all ages (<1yr to adult) but preferentially affect younger adults and children. The clinical presentation is variable and may be mild with only a few symptoms or mimic a psychiatric disorder with delayed diagnosis of encephalitis. More complex symptomatology may be present and it can also have a fulminant course with a fatal outcome. With early detection and immunotherapy, 80% of patients may show full recovery
