Abstract
|
|
|
Encephalopathy associated with Hashimoto¡¯s thyroiditis (Hashimoto¡¯s encephalopathy) has been described as a syndrome of encephalopathy, high titers of anti-thyroid antibodies and steroidresponsiveness. In Hashimoto¡¯s encephalopathy (HE), another core of laboratory feature is a hypoechogenic thyroid in ultrasonography. The clinical characteristics are usually subacute onset of progressive or relapsing mental deterioration, cognitive dysfunction, seizure, myoclonus, and stroke-like episode. We described a rare case of HE in whom progressive encephalopathy was the initial presenting symptom of Hashimoto¡¯s thyroiditis associated with opsoclonic eye movement.
