[An Unusual Cause for Reversible Encephalopathy].

An Unusual Cause for Reversible Encephalopathy Abstract. A 80-year-old female patient was referred to our unit with increasing general weakness, dysphagia, postural instability, and cognitive impairment over the last months. After thorough diagnosis, we concluded that steroid responsive encephalopathy of autoimmune thyroiditis could be the potential cause of the acute deterioration. A cortisone therapy was initiated, which lead to amelioration of the symptoms.
