Autoimmune limbic encephalitis (ALE) associated with an anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a rare but occasionally fatal condition that could be accompanied by ovarian teratoma. We report a case of a 27-year-old woman with ALE combined with a mature cystic teratoma that looks like a functional cyst in imaging studies. A single port access laparoscopic left oophorectomy was performed. On the 154th postoperative day, symptoms were fully recovered. Teratoma detection and tumor removal are critical for the management of patients diagnosed with or suspected of ALE.
与抗N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体(NMDAR)相关的自身免疫性边缘叶脑炎(ALE)是一种罕见但偶尔致命的疾病,可能伴有卵巢畸胎瘤。我们报告一例27岁女性患有ALE并合并成熟囊性畸胎瘤,在影像学检查中看起来像功能性囊肿。实施了单孔腹腔镜左卵巢切除术。术后第154天,症状完全恢复。对于诊断为或疑似ALE的患者,检测畸胎瘤并切除肿瘤对于治疗至关重要。
