A Thane hospital recently successfully treated an elderly man with a rare and challenging case of NMDA receptor positive autoimmune encephalitis. 

The condition, typically seen in young women with underlying ovarian teratomas, is exceptionally uncommon in elderly males, making this case a significant milestone by treating the 73-year-old successfully at Jupiter Hospital.

The patient, who had a history of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and carcinoma bladder (post-TURP), presented severe neurological symptoms including headache, confusion, drowsiness, and orofacial dyskinetic movements.
