Abstract EN

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a neurological, autoimmune disorder tightly conceptualized only as recently as the mid-2000s.

It presents itself in a combination of psychiatric, neurological, and autonomic features.

We observe a unique case with probable earlier episode (prior to the mid-2000s conceptualization of the disease) and a later relapse, accompanying a comprehensive neuropsychological profile tracked after the relapse and subsequent improvement.

Neurocognitive findings revealed residual frontal deficits with mood changes even in the state after plasmapheresis.

This case is the first to describe posttreatment cognition in anti-NMDAR encephalitis after probable serial autoimmune episodes.
