ABSTRACT
Thyrotoxicosis autoimmune encephalopathy (TAE) and Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) are steroid responsive disorders of persistent or relapsing neurological or neuropsychological deficits associated with elevated serum concentrations of an antithyroid antibody. Most patients with TAE or HE are reported to have normal brain imaging findings at the time of presentation. We report here a rare case of TAE in whom brain MRI abnormalities were associated with clinical manifestations of thyroid storm.
