ABSTRACT
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartame receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an uncommon clinical entity for the general intensivist or neurologist. Diagnosis can be made by the presence of cerebrospinal fluid IgG antibody against the GluNR1 and GluNR2 subunits of the NMDAR. We present a case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in a young woman with an ovarian teratoma treated with surgical resection and multiple immunomodulatory therapies.
