The aim of this article is to review the current state of knowledge about anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis associated with a neoplastic process, including description of patients, diagnostic process and treatment. The disease concerns mainly young women and correlates with ovarian teratoma. The greatest challenges are associated with difficulties in making a proper diagnosis ensuing from the rarity of this syndrome, the period from the onset of symptoms to treatment implementation and appropriate management of intensive care complications. There are only a few articles that describe severe, complicated cases of this type of encephalitis, where intensive care was needed.
