Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis presenting as catatonia associated with pheochromocytoma
Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDA) encephalitis is characterized by a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Approximately one quarter of the patients with anti-NMDA encephalitis have been reported to have an underlying neoplasm, such as ovarian teratomas, small cell lung carcinoma, uterine adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor [1]. To our knowledge, however, NMDA encephalitis associated with pheochromocytoma has never been reported.
