- Abstract
- A severe, but reversible encephalitis associated with antibodies to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) was
identified recently in young women with ovarian teratoma. This condition has not been reported previously in Korea. A
31-year-old woman presented with fever and behavioral disturbances; she became comatose several days later, and
dyskinesia and dysautonomia developed thereafter. Antibodies to the NMDAR were positive and abdominal computed
tomography detected a large ovarian teratoma. The patient improved dramatically after the removal of the teratoma and
administration of corticosteroid therapy. Key Words: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis, Teratoma, Dyskinesia
