Abstract
Abnormal elevation of thyroid antibodies in the CSF is observed in 62-75% of Hashimoto's encephalopathy cases. However, the relationship between CSF thyroid antibody levels and response to therapy has been poorly evaluated. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with Hashimoto's encephalopathy, in whom there was a relation between the favorable clinical outcome and the disappearance of antithyroid antibodies from the CSF and a decrease in serum thyroid antibodies.
