TI  - Catatonia in Adolescence: First Onset Psychosis or Anti-NMDAr Encephalitis?
PG  - 136-138
LID - 10.1097/WNF.0000000000000348 [doi]
AB  - Catatonia is a rare condition that can occur in developmental disorders, but it 
      is more frequently seen in schizophrenia. Recently, a high prevalence of 
      cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities including the detection of antineuronal 
      autoantibodies has been observed in psychotic patients. Among these autoimmune 
      encephalopathies associated with a psychiatric condition, a great deal of 
      attention has been paid to anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) 
      encephalitis, which may present, among other things, symptoms such as catatonia, 
      which therefore imposes a differential diagnosis with respect to the early 
      psychosis. The aim of our study was to describe the clinical characteristics of 4 
      cases with catatonic symptoms to understand the differences between the psychotic 
      symptoms due to a type of encephalitis anti-NMDAr and the psychotic symptoms 
      without anti-NMDAr.
