Overview
Historical Perspective
Anti-NMDA encephalitis, initially documented in a case report dating back to 1830, is an autoimmune condition marked by neuropsychiatric manifestations. In some instances, the presence of an ovarian teratoma is observed. The case of Susannah Cahalan played a significant role in raising public awareness regarding this disorder.
Classification
Anti-NMDA encephalitis can be categorized into three distinct subtypes based on the timing of onset and duration of the illness.
