BackgroundThe full clinical spectrum of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is unknown in the pediatric population.PatientWe describe a previously healthy 4-year-old girl presenting with opsoclonus-myoclonus together with ataxia who had NR1-specific, anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies in the cerebral spinal fluid.ConclusionThe presence of NR1-specific, anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies in the setting of opsoclonus-myoclonus and ataxia syndrome may represent an expansion of the clinical presentations of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
