It mainly affects young adults—especially women—and children. A large percentage is associated with tumour processes. Patients develop neuropsychiatric symptoms in a rapid and sequential way and they have convulsive crises that rapidly result in decreasing levels of consciousness, mutism, catatonia and abnormal movements. It is a potentially reversible condition and the seriousness of its effects will depend on how soon the patient receives treatment. This paper describes the case of a young patient who initially displayed self—injurious behaviour and had hallucinations.

La encefalitis por anticuerpos contra el receptor N—metil—D— aspartato (NMDA) es una patología neurológica autoinmune reconocida recientemente en el año 2007 que afecta principalmente a adultos jóvenes, predominantemente mujeres y niños. Un gran porcentaje está asociado a procesos tumorales. Clínicamente los pacientes desarrollan de manera rápida y secuencial síntomas neuropsiquiátricos, crisis convulsivas que progresan hacia un rápido deterioro del nivel de consciencia, mutismo, catatonía y movimientos anormales. Es una patología potencialmente reversible y el grado de secuelas va a depender de la rapidez en el inicio del tratamiento. Se presenta el caso de un paciente joven que debutó con conductas autoagresivas y alucinaciones. Cursó posteriormente con trastornos de memoria y lenguaje, alteraciones conductuales y convulsiones y presentó anticuerpos contra receptores NMDA en el líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR). Realizó tratamiento con inmunoglobulinas y corticoides con evolución favorable logrando control y no progreso de la enfermedad.

Encephalitis associated with anti—N—methyl—D—aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibodies is an autoimmune neurological condition recently recognized in 2007.

Patients develop neuropsychiatric symptoms in a rapid and sequential way and they have convulsive crises that rapidly result in decreasing levels of consciousness, mutism, catatonia and abnormal movements. It is a potentially reversible condition and the seriousness of its effects will depend on how soon the patient receives treatment.
