Article Synopsis
- Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a treatable but recurring neuroendocrine disorder linked to Hashimoto's thyroiditis and often less reported despite its neurological symptoms.
- A 65-year-old female patient with diabetes presented in a deep coma after experiencing mild fever and vomiting; tests ruled out other causes and indicated high anti-TPO antibodies with otherwise normal thyroid function.
- After receiving intravenous dexamethasone and later azathioprine, the patient gradually regained consciousness over a month, highlighting the importance of considering HE in comatose patients when other causes have been eliminated.
