Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis with Decrease in Blood Flow in Cerebellum
In anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, progressive cerebellar atrophy potentially leads to severe sequelae. We encountered a patient with anti-NMDAR antibody encephalitis who showed a decrease of blood flow in the cerebellum.
