Hashimoto's encephalopathy

An extremely rare condition associated with the thyroiditis is Hashimoto's encephalopathy.

Alpha-enolase has been identified as an autoantigen in Hashimoto's encephalopathy.

Autoantibodies to alpha-enolase are associated with the rare syndrome called Hashimoto's encephalopathy.

Symptoms of Hashimoto's encephalopathy may include:

NDPH has been reported in Hashimoto's encephalopathy, an immune-mediated type of encephalitis.

Some of the 'madness' cases are now thought to be the early descriptions of Hashimoto's encephalopathy, a rare neuroendocrine syndrome sometimes presenting with psychosis.

Tg-specific antibodies are also found in patients with Hashimoto's Encephalopathy, a neuro-endocrine disorder related to - but not caused by - Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Although it is well-accepted that Hashimoto's thyroiditis does not cause Hashimoto's encephalopathy, those with Hashimoto's encephalopathy are virtually always eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
