A Rare Case of Anti-Nmda Receptor Encephalitis with Ovarian Teratoma in the Setting of Vzv Encephalitis

Michelle Thomas*, Alexandra Haigh, Tarun Girotra, and Elizabeth Macri

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis (NMDA-RE) is rare autoimmune encephalitis, which classically has been associated with ovarian teratoma but rarely with concomitant viral encephalitis1. We present the first reported case of NMDA-RE with a dual trigger of ovarian teratoma and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) encephalitis.
