We report the appearance of clinical symptoms and signs of N-methyl-d-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis in a patient presenting just days after contraction of influenza B. The offending mature ovarian teratoma was identified and removed on the 10th day after the appearance of symptoms, with subsequent nearly complete resolution of symptoms over the subsequent 6 months. We provide a focused literature review of the clinical and pathophysiologic literature of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis pertaining to influenza B virus and the pediatric population.
