- W4383553939 abstract "Abstract Background Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate “anti-NMDA” receptor encephalitis is one of the most common autoimmune encephalitis for which first- and second-line therapies have been recommended following international consensus. However, some refractory cases do not respond to the first- and second-line therapy and require further immune-modulatory therapies such as intra-thecal methotrexate. In this study, we reviewed six confirmed cases of refractory anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis from two tertiary centers in Saudi Arabia that required escalation of treatment and received a six-month course of intra-thecal methotrexate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-thecal methotrexate as immunomodulatory therapy for refractory anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Methods We retrospectively evaluated six confirmed cases of refractory anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis who did not improve after first- and second-line therapy and received monthly intra-thecal methotrexate treatment course for six consecutive months. We reviewed patient demography, underlying etiologies, and compared their modified Rankin score prior to receiving intra-thecal methotrexate and six months after completing the treatment. Results Three of the six patients showed a marked response to intra-thecal methotrexate with a modified Rankin scale of 0–1 at 6-month follow-up. None of the patients experienced any side effects during or after intra-thecal methotrexate treatment, and no flareups were observed. Conclusion Intra-thecal methotrexate may be a potentially effective and relatively safe escalation option for immunomodulatory therapy of refractory anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Future studies on intra-thecal methotrexate -specific treatment regimens may further support its utility, efficacy, and safety in treating refractory anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis." @default.
