TI  - VNS terminating refractory nonconvulsive SE secondary to anti-NMDA encephalitis: 
      A case report.

AB  - Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (ANRE) has been previously reported as a rare 
      cause of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) 
      is generally considered as a palliative treatment for patients with 
      drug-resistant partial-onset epilepsy. Here, we report a case of refractory NCSE 
      that was terminated after vagus nerve stimulator implantation. To our knowledge, 
      similar cases have not been reported previously.
