This article aims to explore the problem of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis and also describes our own experience in treating anti-NMDAR encephalitis in patients with ovarian teratomas. This pathological condition is a rare complication of cancer. Practicing gynecologists are often unfamiliar with it, although its consequences can be life-threatening. Early diagnosis and causal treatment, particularly teratoma removal, are critical for the outcome and can prevent death or the development of neurological deficits in patients. Key words: anti-NMDAR, autoimmune encephalitis, ovarian cysts, complications, ovarian teratoma, encephalitis, encephalitis in women
