Clinical features of autonomic dysfunction in children with anti-N-methyl-D aspartic receptor encephalitis

Table 1 Clinical manifestation and incidence of autonomic nervous dysfunction

Autonomic dysfunction	patients (n = 22)	percent (%)
cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction	21	95
gland secretion dysfunction	19	86
ventilation dysfunction	3	14
thermoregulation dysfunction	3	14
bladder voiding dysfunction	2	9

Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction include sinus tachycardia (n = 8), ventricular premature beats (n = 2), atrioventricular block (n = 2), atrial premature beats(n = 3), sinus bradycardia (n = 4),hypertension (n = 1),and cardiac arrest (n = 1).Gland secretion dysfunction include increased salivation (n = 16) and hyperhidrosis (n = 3)
