Research Article: Risk Factors and Prognosis in Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis Patients with Disturbance of Consciousness
Introduction:
Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is a widely recognized and discussed autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by the abnormal presence of autoantibodies against NMDAR in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These autoantibodies can mediate the cross-linking and internalization of NMDAR, which interferes with synaptic transmission and leads to symptoms of the disease. The main clinical manifestations of anti-NMDAR encephalitis include psychiatric disturbance,…
