is a rare disease which is attributed to be related with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and characterized by neurological and psychiatric symptoms, high levels of anti-thyroid antibodies, abnormal electroencephalography, and non-specific imaging findings with good response to corticosteroid therapy. In this article, we report a 72-years-old male case who experienced acute neurologic episodes including extrapyramidal findings, diplopia, dysarthria, ataxia and mild impairment in cognitive functions, followed by spontaneous remissions and was diagnosed as Hashimoto's encephalopathy in his last episode. We present this case both to emphasize this rare neurological case and the unusual case of spontaneous remission reported in Hashimoto's encephalopathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
