Abstract

In adolescents, anti NMDA-R encephalitis is the most common etiology of autoimmune encephalitis presenting with various neuropsychiatric symptoms including catatonia. NMDA receptors are responsible for synaptic plasticity and their disruption results in a host of neuropsychiatric symptoms including catatonia. This disruption results from the generation of IgG autoantibodies against the NR1 subunit of the NMDA-R
