Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis: A Case Report and Clinical Insights

Abstract

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is a rare but increasingly recognized autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by psychiatric symptoms, seizures, movement abnormalities, and autonomic dysfunction. Early diagnosis and prompt immunotherapy are crucial for favorable outcomes. This case report describes a young female patient presenting with acute neuropsychiatric manifestations, later diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. The clinical course, diagnostic challenges, management strategies, and outcomes are discussed to highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary care in managing this condition.
