  On the 26th of April, local Oregon news station, KMTR interviewed husband and wife, Tim and Kelly McCabe. Kelly is battling a rare autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (also know as Steroid Responsive Autoimmune Encephalopathy Associated with Thyroiditis or SREAT). Recently a member of the online support group, Understanding Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy – A Support Forum, Tabitha Andrews-Orth, meet up with Kelly for the first time in person.

  To present a case of Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (HE) with long-term neurological sequelae.BACKGROUND: Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy, also known as steroid responsive encephalopathy secondary to autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT), is a rare condition that typically affects middle aged females with known anti-TPO antibodies and a history of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The diagnosis is often overlooked because there is no diagnostic biomarker, and patients can present with several non-specific neurological symptoms that are often incorrectly attributed to other disease processes. Neurological outcomes are rarely reported. It is important to recognize and distinguish HE from other encephalopathies as it is a distinct, treatable entity, which is almost always responsive to steroid therapy.

  Hashimoto’s encephalopathy (HE) is a rare neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with antithyroid antibodies. It may have an acute onset (episodes of cerebral ischemia, seizure, and psychosis) or it may present as an indolent form (depression, cognitive decline, myoclonus, tremors, and fluctuations in level of consciousness). We here describe a case of encephalopathy presenting as non-convulsive status epilepticus associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), unresponsive to corticosteroid therapy, with improvement after plasma exchange treatment.

Hereby, we provide the full clinical and neuropathological description of an HE patient with a rapid and fatal course.

  Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (HE) was first described in 1966. It is a rare condition, which is probably of autoimmune origin. Autoimmunity describes disorders in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the body’s tissues. HE is usually defined by the presence of high levels of thyroid antibodies in the blood. HE has been reported in all age groups but typically affects females of around 50 years of age. – The Encephalitis Society

  Seven untreated patients with HE and 10 age-matched healthy controls underwent brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with N-isopropyl-p-[(123)I]iodoamphetamine. All patients had anti-NH2-terminal of α-enolase autoantibodies (Abs), which served as a useful diagnostic marker for HE, in addition to anti-thyroid Abs in their sera and responded to corticosteroid therapy. The obtained SPECT images were compared between the patients and the controls using 3D-SSP analysis.
