Catatonia in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis: a case series and approach to improve outcomes with electroconvulsive therapy
Based on clinical prediction scores, this cohort had better than expected functional outcomes. We discuss the use of BZDs and ECT in these cases and propose a treatment algorithm for patients who present with catatonic syndrome in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
