Anti-α-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazolepropionic Acid (AMPA) Receptor Antibody Encephalitis in an Immunosuppressed Patient With Myasthenia Gravis Post-thymoma Treatment.

Anti-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor encephalitis is a rare form of autoimmune encephalitis. We report a case of a patient with myasthenia gravis post-thymoma treatment who presented with deteriorating mental status. She was found to have positive AMPA receptor titers in her cerebrospinal fluid and subsequently attained full recovery.
