Autoimmune Encephalitis in Catatonic and Treatment-Resistant Psychotic Patients Referred to Electroconvulsive Therapy: Two Case Reports and Systematic Review.
J ECT
December 2024
From the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University Hospital of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) tends to manifest as a mixture of neuropsychiatric and somatic symptoms, either of which may predominate, and often shows a progressive clinical course sometimes leading to life-threatening conditions. Catatonic and psychotic syndromes, regardless of whether associated with dysautonomia, are common manifestations of AE, especially concerning the anti-NMDAR subtype. Several autoantibodies targeting different neuronal epitopes have been linked to specific clinical manifestations and their detection is embedded in some of the diagnostic criteria for AE.

College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA.
Objective: Benzodiazepines, particularly lorazepam, are good options for acute catatonia treatment. Published catatonia literature on benzodiazepine maintenance treatment and benzodiazepine tolerance is limited.
Methods: This is a chart review covering 30 years of clinical experience in the state of Kentucky, (United States of America), where there was no easy access to electroconvulsive therapy.
Catatonia is one of the most severe psychiatric syndromes, and clinical symptoms and etiology are very heterogeneous. When accompanied by autonomic instability and hyperthermia it’s termed malignant catatonia, which left untreated is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. First-line treatment is high dose benzodiazepines, followed by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), in case of non-response.

In this focussed review, authors touch briefly on prevalence of catatonia in psychiatric presentations, discuss clinical diagnosis, neurobiology, typology, and conclude with a psychopharmacological algorithm to treatment.
