  • Title: A case of newly diagnosed primary hypothyroidism with deteriorating consciousness that did not respond to thyroxine--what else should be considered?
    Author: Williams A, Green N, Phyu CT, Bondugulapati R, Dixon AN, Harvey J.
    Journal: Acute Med; 2013; 12(2):102-4. PubMed ID: 23732135.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of a 60 year old male who was noted to have primary hypothyroidism and decreased consciousness which did not respond to Levothyroxine. Further investigations revealed a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Encephalopathy which responded well to steroids. We describe the case in detail and discuss the available relevant literature on this topic.
