Abstract: Autoimmune encephalitis with negative paraneoplastic, infectious and serology markers poses a considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We described a case with neuropsychiatric presentation of seronegative autoimmune encephalitis. Paraneoplastic, infectious and metabolic etiologies were excluded. The patient responded to immunotherapy and achieved full remission. J Med Cases. 2015;6(10):468-471 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/jmc2297w
