Abstract
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is an emerging disease that affects young women. Its diagnosis can be delayed because of the neuropsychiatric symptoms in the foreground, but early removal of the associated teratoma improves the prognosis. We report the treatment of a patient with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis that was related to an ovarian teratoma.
