The spectrum of movement disorders associated with anti N-Methyl-d-Aspartate-Receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is myriad, particularly in children, possibilities of which were investigated from two tertiary care centres.A retrospective study was conducted in two tertiary referral centres in Eastern India, analysing data of 8 paediatric patients diagnosed as anti NMDAR encephalitis, presenting with one or more movement disorders (MDs).All the patients were of Bengali ethnicity with a median age of 9 years (3-16 years) and with female predilection (62.5%). CSF pleocytosis was a common feature in all. Seizures were described in 62.5%% of patients with a solitary patient exhibiting abnormalities on brain imaging. 3 out of 8 (37.5%) of patients presented with a single MD while the remaining had more than one type. Oro-linguo-facial dyskinesias and dystonia (37.5% each) were the most common movement type followed by chorea (12.5%). Complex stereotypies, myoclonus and facial tics were noted in one patient each. All patients received pulse methyl prednisolone. Escalation to second line therapy in form of rituximab was done for 5 patients (62.5%). Following immunotherapy, hyperkinetic movements resolved in 50% of patients, with persistence of movements in one (12.5%). A mortality of 37.5% was noted. Median duration of follow up was 26 months, during which none of the patients had evidence of systemic neoplasm.MDs are a core feature of anti NMDAR encephalitis, particularly in the paediatric age group, understanding and characterization of which, is the key to early diagnosis and effective therapy.
