The coexistence of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-Ab)-associated diseases has been reported. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented with repeated typical anti-NMDAR encephalitis coexisting with unusual symptoms not consistent with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Apart from the anti-NMDAR encephalitis, her first episode was characterized by balance disability with bilateral medial frontal cortical lesions, suggesting the involvement of the cortico-reticular projections and the basal ganglia-brainstem projections.

We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of 12 recurrent central nervous system lesions in the optic nerve, cerebrum, and spinal cord. The woman's condition improved by each steroid therapy.
