Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate-Receptor Encephalitis

Anti-inflammatory treatment led to almost full recovery with persistent disappearance of catatonic symptoms; however, a dysexecutive syndrome led to ongoing relevant problems with good response to low-dose atypical neuroleptics and CBT. The patient had persistent EEG alterations that indicated continuing neuronal network instability. Therefore, the case demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinary outpatient treatment following acute therapy for anti-NMDA-R encephalitis in patients with ongoing psychiatric deficits. For the symptomatic treatment of executive dysfunctions, "classical" psychiatric treatment may be helpful in the course of the disease
