| This article reports a case of a male patient with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis comorbid with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). The patient presented with depression, hallucinations and delusions syndrome, and cognitive impairment, and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Through multidisciplinary consultation, the diagnosis was confirmed based on positive biological and pathological biomarkers. The patient's symptoms improved after receiving a therapeutic regimen comprising high-dose glucocorticoid therapy and psychiatric-related treatments. Based on relevant current research findings domestically and internationally, this article reviews the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of early-onset AD and anti-NMDAR encephalitis, in order to enhance the discrimination ability of psychiatric specialists for such patients and improve the diagnosis and treatment level.
