Abstrakt:	Autoimmune encephalitis with antibodies to NMDA receptors (anti-NMDAR encephalitis) is a frequent form of autoimmune encephalitis. The disease is curable, though the lack of timely treatment can lead to disability in patients or death. Difficulties in the diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis arise from its heterogenous manifestations, its possible combination with other autoimmune diseases, and lack of doctors' awareness of this type of encephalitis. This article reviews published data and describes a case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis with atypical features in the form of relapsing optic neuritis; it was difficult to link optic nerve lesions with comorbidity with multiple sclerosis or optic neuromyelitis spectrum disorders.
