Overview

N-methyl-D-aspartate encephalitis is a recently defined autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system. Neurological symptoms are associated with antibody-dependent internalization of NMDA receptors that leads to synapse disruption. Information about the disease, therapy and diagnosis are followed by clinical experience with our group of five patients.

Key words:
anti-NMDAR encephalitis – diagnosis – therapy

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
