Understanding Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis

The December 2024 replay wraps up the year with five previously posted episodes on autoimmune neurology. The episode begins with Drs. Michael R. Wilson and John Pluvinage discussing transcobalamin antibodies. The episode leads into an interview with Dr. Andrew McKeon, who talks about paraneoplastic CAMKV autoimmune encephalitis. In the third episode, Dr. Maarten Titulaer discusses long-term outcomes and rehab in NMDAR encephalitis. The episode continues with Prof. Zsolt Illes discussing the mortality of patients with AQP4 antibody–seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder compared with that in the general population. In the final episode, Drs. Marius Ringelstein and Ilya Ayzenberg discuss the effectiveness and safety of Eculizumab in routine clinical care.
