Overview
Key MRI Findings for Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
In fifty percent of instances, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain is unremarkable. In the remaining 50%, MR Imaging may demonstrate nonspecific T2 or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal hyperintensity in the hippocampus; cerebellar, frontobasal, or insular cortex; basal ganglia; brainstem; and, rarely, the spinal cord.
Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is notoriously difficult to diagnose based only on neuroimaging characteristics, as there are no discernible patterns of brain involvement
