Anti-NMDAR encephalitis may develop concurrently with anti-MOG antibody-associated bilateral medial frontal cerebral cortical encephalitis and relapse with elevated CSF IL-6 and CXCL13.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis may develop concurrently with or separate from episodes of demyelinating disorders. Previously, we reported a patient with relapsing anti-NMDAR encephalitis who had presented with bilateral medial frontal cerebral cortical lesions at onset. Recently, we assessed CSF anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody for the first time in this case and found that the patient had been double positive for anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibodies from onset. The two antibody titres, CSF cells, IL-6 and CXCL13 were all elevated at onset. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis may develop concurrently with anti-MOG antibody-associated cortical encephalitis and relapse with elevated levels of CSF cytokines.
