Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis causing prolonged nonconvulsive status epilepticus
Abstract
Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is characterized by dyskinesias, psychosis, and seizures1 secondary to antibodies to the NR1-NR2B heteromer of the NMDA receptor.2 This syndrome, more common in women, is often related to an ovarian tumor1; the prognosis is better if the tumor is identified within 3 months of onset. Our case had nonconvulsive status epilepticus lasting 6 months, with marked improvement following removal of the ovarian tumor.
