Abstract

Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy is an autoimmune disease associated with significant increase in titer of autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin and characterized by inflammatory and degenerative brain disorders. We report a clinical case of recurrent status of acute symptomatic attacks in a female patient with Hashimoto’s encephalopathy.
