Anti NMDA receptor encephalitis is commonly confused with schizophrenia. Most of the available data on this illness is through published case reports. Although it has been newly recognized and understood, it is thought to be the more common cause of suspected demonic possession in childhood described throughout history as childhood-onset schizophrenia is very rare. Since there is more awareness about the symptoms, the pervasiveness of this form of encephalitis as a diagnosis has increased. This activity is an attempt to highlight the presentation, timeline of symptoms, key to diagnosis, and treatment of Anti NMDAR encephalitis in the pediatric population. Diagnostic clarity would expedite treatment leading to better outcomes.
