Abstract

Objective

The aim of this article is to outline the importance of carrying out a complete organic study when encountering a first psychotic episode by means of a case report showing a diagnosis of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Case report

A 35 year-old male, presented without a significant psychiatric history, starts to suffer from severe psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and behavioural problems. The patient was on the lookout for a study of a syncope with secondary traumatic brain injury experienced one month prior to the beginning of the symptoms. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, showing symptom improvement with this immunosuppressive treatment.

Results

The approach from a neurological perspective has been of outmost importance in order to improve the aforementioned severe psychotic symptoms.

Conclusions

A close cooperation between the Psychiatry and Neurology departments is needed when encountering a first psychotic episode.
