TI  - Four-year-old anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis patient with 
      ovarian teratoma: A case report.

AB  - BACKGROUND: A population-based comparative study in United States shows that the 
      prevalence and incidence of autoimmune encephalitis are comparable to those of 
      infectious encephalitis and its detection is increasing over time. Some patients 
      are complicated with ovarian teratoma. The younger the patient is, the less 
      likely a tumor will be present. CASE SUMMARY: This case report describes the 
      successful treatment of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis 
      by early laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy and immunotherapy in a 4-year-old female 
      child. And to the best of our knowledge, this detailed case report describes the 
      youngest patient to date with anti-NMDAR encephalitis who underwent laparoscopic 
      ovarian cystectomy. CONCLUSION: Although the younger the patient is, the less 
      likely a tumor will be detected, we still emphasize that all patients with 
      suspected or confirmed anti-NMDAR encephalitis should be screened for ovarian 
      tumors if possible. Prompt initiation of immunotherapy and tumor removal are 
      crucial for good outcomes.
