Abstract
The most common etiology of encephalitis is infection. However, immune-mediated etiologies of encephalitis are now increasingly recognized. Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis was first identified in 2007 by Dalmau and Bataller.1 Its characteristics include impaired consciousness, psychosis, seizures, dyskinesia, autonomic instability, and other various symptoms.2 Among these symptoms, rapid progressive psychosis is the first symptom of the disease in most cases. We experienced a case of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis with phonemic paraphasia and acalculia as first symptoms that were not classical characteristics. CASE REPORT
