Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a form of autoimmune encephalitis. The characteristic clinical features include seizure, psychosis-like symptoms, abnormal movements, and autonomic disturbances. Patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis can present with various types of movement disorders. Typically, the movement disorders start following intervals of psychiatric and prodromal manifestations in young adults; however, in children, these might be an early presentation of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. The disease is under-recognized and underdiagnosed in Pakistan. Early recognition of the disease is important to commence timely treatment leading to a better prognosis. Here we present a collection of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients, specifically focussing on the different types of movement disorders and the differences in clinical manifestations between children and adults.

We discuss the case of a 36-year-old male patient who presented with gait impairment. On examination, he had clinical findings of cervical myelopathy. The patient was evaluated with an MRI of the brain and spine, which revealed multiple spinal tumors, some causing significant canal stenosis. The spinal tumors involved the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. There were both intramedullary and extramedullary tumors with an extraspinal extension. The patient's MRI brain also revealed bilateral vestibular schwannomas. His family history was negative. He subsequently underwent surgery for multiple spinal lesions followed by debulking of the rightsided vestibular schwannoma. The radiological findings of both intramedullary and extramedullary spinal tumors affecting the spinal cord and extensively involving the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions, and the requirement of spinal and cranial surgery concurrently make this a challenging neurosurgical case.
