To summarise the clinical characteristics, radiological features, treatments and prognosis of patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) overlapped with NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. We retrospectively analysed patients who exhibited dual positivity for MOG antibodies and NMDAR antibodies in serum/CSF from Jan 2018 to Jun 2023. Ten patients with MOGAD and NMDAR encephalitis were enrolled.

Background: Seizures, including status epilepticus (SE), are common in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDARE). We aimed to describe clinical and electrographic features of patients with seizures with NMDARE, determine factors associated with SE, and describe long-term seizure outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with seizures in the setting of NMDARE treated at inpatient Mayo Clinic sites during the acute phase of encephalitis between October 2008 and March 2023.

Management of cases of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antibody-mediated encephalitis is very challenging to anaesthesiologists as this receptor is the target of many anaesthetics. We report a woman diagnosed with anti-NMDA antibody-mediated encephalitis posted for laparotomy. She presented with generalised tonic-clonic seizures.

Background/aim: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, though rare, is the most common form of autoimmune encephalitis, predominantly affecting young individuals, particularly females. Standard treatments include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and plasmapheresis, with rituximab recommended for those unresponsive to first-line therapies. However, reliable biomarkers for clinical assessment remain elusive.
