| Popis: | Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a rare neurological disorder associated with autoimmune thyroiditis, with heterogenous group of neurological symptoms in patients with high titers of antithyroid antibodies. Clinical manifestations of HE may include acute or subacute encephalopaty with seizures, behavioral and psychiatric manifestations, movement disorders, and coma. Early diagnosis and adequate therapy is very important due to the fact that this autoimmune disorder is potentially lethal. Hashimoto's encephalopathy is usually steroid-responsive. In this paper we describe three patients with Hashimoto's encephalopathy, presented with different clinical pictures, disease course and response to the treatment with corticosteroids. |
