  • Title: Reversible dementia with psychosis: Hashimoto's encephalopathy.
    Author: Mocellin R, Lubman DI, Lloyd J, Tomlinson EB, Velakoulis D.
    Journal: Psychiatry Clin Neurosci; 2006 Dec; 60(6):761-3. PubMed ID: 17109712.
    Abstract:
    A case of presumed Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is presented. The presentation included memory loss, delusions, functional decline and culminated in a generalized seizure. Anti-thyroid antibodies were detected and symptoms resolved with prednisolone. Patients with HE may present with prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms, attract psychiatric diagnoses and present to psychiatric services. Primarily a diagnosis of exclusion, HE should be considered in cases of encephalopathy in which standard investigations are negative.
