Abstract
Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a progressively debilitating, clinically heterogeneous, frequently fatal disease caused by autoantibodies directed against the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor that affects 1 in 1.5 million people each year. Risk of misdiagnosis or delayed treatment is high due to variable presentations and potential false negative results.
