Anti–N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune encephalitis mediated by anti–N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies. Ovarian teratoma is closely related to anti–N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis. However, the optimal treatment remains unknown, and strategies used for the diagnosis and therapy, including surgical intervention of ovarian teratoma, are debatable.
