Patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis often develop prominent psychiatric manifestations. The frequency and type of isolated psychiatric episodes (pure psychiatric symptoms without neurological involvement) either as initial presentation of the disease or as relapse are unknown. To determine the frequency, symptoms, and outcome of isolated psychiatric episodes in a cohort of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Observational cohort of patients diagnosed over a 5 year period (median follow-up 2 years). 571 patients with IgG antibodies against the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR were included in the study. Antibody studies were performed at the Universities of Pennsylvania and Barcelona, and clinical information was obtained by the authors or referring physicians. Frequency, type of symptoms, and outcome of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis and isolated psychiatric manifestations. 23/571 patients (4%) developed isolated psychiatric episodes, 5 at disease onset and 18 during relapses. For all 23 patients, age (median 20 years), gender (91% female), and tumor association (43%, ovarian teratoma) were similar to the population at large. Predominant symptoms included, delusional thinking (74%), mood disturbances (70%, usually manic), and aggression (57%). Brain MRI was abnormal in 10/22 (45%) and CSF showed pleocytosis in 17/22 (77%). Eighty three percent of the patients had full/substantial recovery after immunotherapy and tumor resection when appropriate. After relapse, 17/18 (94%) patients returned to a similar or better pre-relapse functional level. Isolated psychiatric episodes are rare but can occur as initial onset or relapse of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Recognition of these episodes is important because they respond to immunotherapy. In patients with new onset psychosis, history of encephalitis, subtle neurological symptoms, and/or abnormal ancillary tests should prompt screening for NMDAR antibodies.
