Hashimoto’s encephalopathy: Report of two cases
Abstract
Hashimoto’s encephalopathy is a disease considered to derive from an autoimmune etiology, associated with anti-thyroid auto-antibodies. Clinical manifestations may include acute or latent conditions. The disease is diagnosed through clinical manifestations, high anti-thyroid auto-antibodies and elimination of other conditions that may also cause encephalopathy. In this report, we present two patients admitted with acute neurological deterioration and diagnosed with Hashimoto’s encephalopathy.
