This case reports a 16-year-old female (body mass index, 23.5 kg/m2) hospitalized twice for pancreatitis (triglycerides [TG] level >2,200 mg/dL).

- Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder that can lead to thyroid failure and, in rare cases, neurological issues associated with GAD antigen.
- A 7-year-old boy with symptoms like weight loss and abnormal gait was diagnosed with autoimmune hyperthyroidism and treated with methimazole, later developing hypothyroidism and epilepsy correlated to GAD-65 CNS disease.
- This case highlights an uncommon type of atrophic thyroiditis (AT) that also presents with neurological symptoms, emphasizing the need to consider GAD-65 autoimmunity in similar pediatric cases.
