Tree Number(s): C04.588.614.550.112; C04.730.856.112; C10.228.140.430.124; C10.574.781.249; C10.586.250.124; C20.111.258.124
Unique ID: D060426
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D060426
Scope Note: Disorder characterized by symptoms of CATATONIA; HYPOVENTILATION; DYSKINESIAS; ENCEPHALITIS; and SEIZURES followed by a reduced CONSCIOUSNESS. It is often followed by a viral-like prodrome. Many cases are self-limiting and respond well to IMMUNOMODULATORY THERAPIES against the NMDA RECEPTORS antibodies.
