Neuropsychological deficits are prevalent at all points of recovery from anti-NMDAR encephalitis, although improvement in cognitive outcomes can be expected as patients recover. Some cognitive deficits may be less likely than others to resolve. Close neuropsychological monitoring is warranted in this population. Longitudinal studies of neuropsychological functioning of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis are needed to accurately inform prognosis.
