Abstract
Autoimmune encephalitis with negative paraneoplastic, infectious and serology markers poses a considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We described a case with neuropsychiatric presentation of seronegative autoimmune encephalitis. Paraneoplastic, infectious and metabolic etiologies were excluded. The patient responded to immunotherapy and achieved full remission.
