Palilalia as a prominent feature of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in a woman with COVID-19
Anti-NMDA antibody encephalitis should not be ignored by gynecologists whose role in management is central.
Objective:To compare clinical, diagnostic, management, and outcome factors in children with anti–N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and a history of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE...

Kerry Wallen began to display strange behaviour: confusion, repeating herself, showing signs of memory loss. Here's what doctors discovered.
The common co-occurrence of autoimmune systemic diseases in patients with neurological disorders and antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) suggests a shared genetic predisposition to these disorders.
Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) constitutes an important treatable cause of movement disorders.We aimed to highlight the spectrum of movement disorder and other salient features of AIE patients diagnosed at our tertiary care centre and describe their clinical symptoms, diagnostic approach, treatment,...
In addition to anti-NMDAR antibodies, anti-GABA<sub>B</sub>R antibodies and antibodies against unknown neuronal surface antigens can trigger autoimmune encephalitis following JE. Patients who developed autoimmune encephalitis had a poorer prognosis at the one-year follow-up.

We aimed to investigate the role of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis. 137 consecutive inpatients (2016-2019) were registered prospectively and followed up for 12 months.

Anti-NMDAR encephalitis in infants and toddlers clinically presents with movement disorders, developmental regression, and abnormal behaviors. Interestingly, this group had a higher proportion of patients after viral encephalitis, which is regarded as the only risk factor for poor outcomes.
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis patients demonstrate characteristic multistage progression and movement disorders, which are analogous to hystero-epilepsy in Jean-Martin Charcot's Tuesday Lessons.
The diagnosis of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)
encephalitis relies on the detection of NMDAR IgG autoantibodies in the
serum or cerebrospinal fluid of symptomatic patients. Commercial kits are
available that allow NMDAR IgG autoantibodies ...
