Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis: case series and analysis of the effects of antibodies

TL;DR: A well-defined set of clinical characteristics are associated with anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis and the pathogenesis of the disorder seems to be mediated by antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paraneoplastic anti–N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma

TL;DR: The autoantigens of a new category of treatment‐responsive paraneoplastic encephalitis are reported, and it is proposed that this category should be combined with existing treatment-responsive encephalopathy categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical experience and laboratory investigations in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis

TL;DR: Patients' antibodies cause a titre-dependent, reversible decrease of synaptic NMDAR by a mechanism of crosslinking and internalisation, which reveals a probable pathogenic relation between the depletion of receptors and the clinical features of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recommended diagnostic criteria for paraneoplastic neurological syndromes

TL;DR: An international panel of neurologists interested in PNS recommended new criteria for those in whom no clinical consensus was reached in the past and defined “classical” syndrome and onconeural antibody as “well characterised”.
