A paraneoplastic syndrome associated with anti-N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptors can initially present as a neurologic or psychiatric disturbance. Removal of the tumor is usually curative, and the syndrome is associated with the presence, rather than the history, of tumor. We present a case in
Herein, we describe a case report of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis characterized by a single generalized tonic-clonic seizure and predominantly psychiatric symptoms, persisting long after EEG abnormalities had resolved. We discuss common presentations of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and
Encephalitis is an inflammatory process of the brain that is most commonly related to infectious etiology; nonetheless, autoimmune encephalitis has been an increasingly identified entity that can cause it as well and should be considered. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is a
We report on a 33-year-old woman who had a paraneoplastic syndrome with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis, associated with ovarian teratomas. She presented with acute onset seizures, grandiosity, elevated mood, disorganized thoughts, and paranoia. Cerebral spinal fluid analysis
The authors describe a case of a giant intracranial mature cystic teratoma in a 16-year-old girl presenting acutely with a severe headache, vomiting and a complex generalised seizure with a background history of intermittent headaches for 3 years. CT and MRI brain demonstrated a ruptured large
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a recently recognised autoimmune, paraneoplastic syndrome that typically presents with psychiatric disturbance, reduced conscious level and seizures. The disorder has been previously associated with ovarian teratomas. We present the case of a
BACKGROUND
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a recently discovered disease entity of paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. It largely affects young women and is often associated with an ovarian teratoma. It is a serious yet treatable condition if diagnosed early. Its remedy involves
A rare case of mature pineal teratoma with interesting radiological findings in a 16-month-old infant is reported. The patient was referred to our clinic because of generalized convulsions. A CT scan showed marked hydrocephalus and a low density mass lesion without contrast enhancement in the pineal
A 54-year-old woman presented with complex partial seizure with impaired consciousness. Brain MRI revealed a high intensity lesion on T2-weighted and FLAIR images in the left temporal lobe, indicating limbic encephalitis. CT and MRI of the pelvis showed right ovarian teratoma. The cerebrospinal
A 31-year-old female was admitted with headache, memory disturbance, abnormal behavior, incontinence, confusion, complex partial seizures, decreased oxygen saturation and increased temperature. Anti-NMDAR antibodies were positive in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Subsequently, a regimen of
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a potentially fatal form of autoimmune encephalitis that originates secondary to a host immune response to neural tissue within a teratoma. We describe the case of a 17-year old girl who presented with acute onset psychosis, catatonic movements,
BACKGROUND
This report describes a Successful treatment of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis with early teratoma removal and plasmapheresis.
UNASSIGNED
We present a 31-year-old Caucasian nulliparous patient who was admitted as an emergency with general illness status accompanied by holocranial
BACKGROUND
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an immune-mediated syndrome caused by the production of anti-NMDAR receptor antibodies. The syndrome characterised by psychosis, seizures, sleep disorders, hallucinations and short-term memory loss. Ovarian teratoma is the
A 19-year-old woman developed memory loss followed by psychosis, coma, convulsion, and central hypoventilation requiring mechanical ventilation. MRI of the brain showed minimal changes, and SPECT imaging revealed a small region of increased uptake in the cortex. Intravenous acyclovir and high-dose
We report here a 4-month-old male infant with a cerebellar teratoma. After vomiting for 5 days, he had a tonic-clonic seizure on the left showing secondary generalization. Neuroimaging studies showed severe hydrocephalus and a large tumor in the left cerebellar hemisphere, which showed
