Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome in a Patient With Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis: Case Report and Review of Related Literature.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a severe but treatable disease that presents with symptoms similar to neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).

Case Report: We describe a 28-year old female who initially presented with headaches, behavioral changes, anxiety, lip tremors, and rigidity of extremities. She was prescribed with olanzapine and later manifested with neuroleptic malignant syndrome symptoms such as decrease in sensorium, muscle rigidity, hyperthermia and tachycardia.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy with tongue fasciculation: A case report.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is one of the immune-mediated polyneuropathies responsive to immunotherapy. Its usual clinical presentation is a chronic course of symmetric sensorimotor affectation of both proximal and distal extremities with signs of demyelination on electrophysiologic studies. Cranial nerve signs in this condition is not commonly encountered, particularly involvement of the hypoglossal nerve.
