| Abstract: | A form of limbic encephalitis associated with antibodies against the N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) was discovered in 2007. It is often a multistage illness that progresses from psychosis, memory deficits, seizures into a state of unresponsiveness with catatonic features, abnormal movements, autonomic, and respiratory instability. We present two cases of anti‐NMDAR encephalitis to highlight the cardiac complications and their management. |
