Clinical and electroencephalographic manifestations of Hashimoto's encephalopathy / 中华全科医师杂志

Clinically rare with an acute or subacute onset,Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is characterized as autoimmune encephalopathy with elevated anti-thyroid autoantibodies.If timely diagnosed and treated,its prognosis is often fair.Four HE cases admitted from January 2012 to June 2014 were analyzed with a literature review.HE 4 cases had a significantly higher level of thyroperoxidase (TPO) while the lowest increase over four folds.There were cognitive decline,memory loss and even coma.And 50％ had abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) consistent with radiographic lesions.In short,EEG may aid an early diagnosis of HE.
