Abstract:
Psychiatric symptoms are one of the most common symptoms in patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis,which is not specific compared with the symptoms of schizophrenia.Young female patients without previous history of mental disorders have sudden onset of psychiatric symptoms,conscious disturbances or suspicious conscious disturbances,especially in the presence of catatonic,requiring electroencephalogram (EEG) and head magnetic resonance imaging for the identification of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.Abnormal NMDA receptor antibody in cerebrospinal fluid is the basis of diagnosis.
