OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of anti-N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) presented by mental and behavioral changes and seizures accompanied with respiratory failure.
CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old multiparous woman was initially presented with abnormal mental behavior and the diagnosis of schizophrenia was made, but the disease progressed rapidly to general convulsion and acute respiratory failure. Although active treatment, including steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) and plasma exchange was applied, no significant improvement was obtained. Transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance image (MRI) were arranged and the results showed a suspicious cystic lesion (3 × 2.3 cm) at the right ovary. Laparoscopic unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and final pathology reported a matured cystic teratoma, suggesting that this patient had anti-NMDARE secondary to ovarian mature teratoma. After surgery, the clinical condition was dramatically improved and she recovered completely without sequelae.
CONCLUSION: Although it is well-known about the relation between anti-NMDARE and ovarian mature teratoma, this small tumor may result in the missing diagnosis. Remind us to consider the possibility of any small ovarian cystic lesion-related anti-NMDARE in women with autoimmune encephalitis.
