Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis Presenting with Language Impairment and Bradycardia

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is known to have various clinical symptoms, but usually shows acute behavioral changes, memory deficit, speech problems and dysregulation of autonomic nervous system. Recently, it has been found that NMDA receptors perform important roles not only in central nervous system but also in peripheral organs, like control the cardiac rhythm by located in the myocardium and cardiac conduction system. The authors would like to report a case of bradycardia accompanied by anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
