Clinical Specificities of Adult Male Patients with NMDA Receptor Antibodies Encephalitis Neurol 82:556-563, Viaccoz, A.,et al, 2014 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Adult male patients who have partial seizures, normal MRI results, and no clear etiology should be tested for NMDAr-Abs to avoid any delays in treatment initiation. Adult female patients who had a seizure as the first symptom are infrequent when NMDAr-Abs encephalitis is diagnosed; additionally, their clinical pattern is different from male patients, with more generalized seizures and rapid development of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms. The differences in hormonal influence could contribute to this difference in clinical pattern.
