Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis caused by ovarian teratoma / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Ovarian teratoma is agynecological disease,which has been found to be closely related to antiNMDA receptor encephalitis in recent years.Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a kind of autoimmune encephalitis.Its etiology,pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment are still not clear,and the disease has various clinical manifestations and special test methods,which are often ignored by clinicians.The prognosis is poor if the best treatment timing is missed,so early treatment is very important.At present,the main treatment methods include surgical treatment and immunotherapy.Most people can be cured,but the disease has a certain recurrence rate.The recurrence mechanism and treatment need further investigation.Reports on maternal anti-NMDAR encephalitis are rare,but we need to pay lots of attention to it as it is related to maternal and fetal outcomes.
