Radiol Case Reports 6:445-449, Ramalho, J. & Castillo, M., 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a case of Hashimoto?s encephalopathy with atypical and partially reversible MRI findings. T2-weighted MRI images revealed bilaterally symmetric areas of increased signal in the mesial temporal lobes and basal ganglia. Despite clinical and imaging improvement after steroid therapy, some memory deficits and MRI abnormalities persisted.
