Overview
Surgery
- Surgery is primarily considered in the treatment of anti-NMDA encephalitis when there is an associated tumor, most commonly an ovarian teratoma.
- The removal of the tumor is important as it can contribute to the generation of antibodies causing the encephalitis.
- Surgery can improve the patient's overall prognosis and reduce the risk of relapse.
surgical removal of the tumor may lead to a more rapid resolution of symptoms and better response to immunotherapy. However, in cases without an associated tumor, surgery alone is not a standard treatment for anti-NMDA encephalitis, and immunotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment.
- The decision to proceed with surgery is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration various factors such as the presence and type of tumor, the patient's overall health, and the severity of neurological symptoms.
- A multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, and oncologists is crucial to ensure optimal management and outcomes for patients with anti-NMDA encephalitis.
