Abstract
This article reports the case of a 40-year-old male patient with isolated metamorphopsia and visual pseudohallucinations lasting for 2 weeks. As the ophthalmological findings were not pathological, a further neurological examination was performed. After diagnosis of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis, which can be manifested in various psychiatric, neurological and ophthalmological ways, the oligosymptomatic patient received high-dose corticosteroid treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins, which stopped the symptoms.Entities:
