A Case of Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis Triggered by Herpes Simplex Virus Encephalitis

Abstract

In recent years, more and more medical researchers realized that anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis can be triggered by herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), which can lead to an immune-mediated relapse. There are some different characteristics of Anti-NMDAR encephalitis after HSE and viral encephalitis. Here we report a case of Anti-NMDAR encephalitis after HSE who with movement disorders, autonomic nervous dysfunction and extreme delta brush (EDB) in electroencephalogram (EEG).
