A case report of anti-nmda receptor encephalitis
Background: Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a form of autoimmune encephalitis which is characterized by the presence of IgG antibodies against the NR1 subunit of NMDA receptors. While often associated with paraneoplastic origins, the exact triggers of autoantibody production remain unclear in many cases. It predominantly affects children and young adults, with a female preponderance. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is used to confirm the diagnosis.
