Core Tip |
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is a treatable but often misdiagnosed autoimmune disease. In this paper, we describe a 39-year-old man with anti-NMDAR encephalitis who initially presented with paroxysmal speech disorder and was subsequently misdiagnosed with a transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction. The definitive diagnosis was made based on the detection of anti-NMDAR antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The patient recovered completely after immunotherapy. This case suggests that paroxysmal speech disorder may be the first symptom of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in a young patient without risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. |
