Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia, causality or coincidence? A case report.

Abstract

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is the most frequent autoimmune paraneoplastic encephalitis, and is primarily associated with ovarian teratomas. Here, we report the first case of a patient diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) during the recovery phase of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
