Core Tip
Core Tip: Here we present a man with autoimmune encephalitis in whom antibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein were sequentially detected. This is the first recurrent N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis case in the literature for which antibodies of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein were positive simultaneously and both supratentorial and infratentorial cranial magnetic resonance imaging were involved. Also, the patient responded very well with the optic nerve injury and encephalitis completely recovering. Psoriasis detected at the 6-mo follow-up may also be an immune-related disease, but the mechanism is unknown.
