Anti-NMDA Receptor Paraneoplastic Encephalitis: An Important Differential Diagnosis in Subacute Psychosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anti NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis has been recently described in young women with ovarian teratoma. Memory and psychiatric disturbances are frequent followed by respiratory and autonomic failure warranting long intensive care admissions. We report on a female patient with paraneoplastic encephalitis manifested by behavioural changes and neurological impairment, followed by respiratory and hemodynamic instability. Anti-NMDA receptor antibodies were found in blood and spinal fluid in association with an imamature grade 2 ovarian teratoma. She made a full recovery after complete oophorectomy and institution of intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids. Anti-NMDA encephalitis should be considered in any female patient presenting with de novo psychiatric symptoms. As in other paraneoplastic syndrome, its therapy is based in resection of the underlying tumor associated with immunomodulators. Timely initiation of therapy may significantly improve outcome as in this case. J Med Cases. 2013;4(3):135-138 doi: https://doi.org/10.4021/jmc986w

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
