This case study highlights the diagnosis and treatment of anti NMDA receptor encephalitis, revealing significant psychiatric and neurological symptoms.
Key Points
The diagnosis of anti NMDA receptor encephalitis was confirmed through the presence of specific antibodies in the patient's CSF.
Treatment involved the use of immunosuppressive therapy, which successfully resolved psychosis and normalized neurological symptoms.
EEG results showed moderate-grade, extensive changes, but brain imaging revealed no significant abnormalities.
The case emphasizes the need for prompt recognition of atypical symptoms in autoimmune encephalitis for effective therapy.
