Steroid-Responsive Encephalopathy Associated with Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Arch Neurol 63:197-202, Castillo,KP.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The clinical,laboratory,and radiologic findings associated with SREAT are more varied than previously reported. Misdiagnosis at presentation is common. This treatable syndrome should be considered even if the serum sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate are normal, the cerebrospinal fluid profile does not suggest an inflammatory process, and Neuroimaging results are normal. Until the pathophysiologic mechanism of this and other autoimmune encephalopathies is better characterized, we believe that descriptive terms that reflect an association rather than causation are most appropriate for this syndrome.
