Abstract
Two patients with a thyroid disorder and an associated episodic encephalopathy are reported. The relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myxoedema, and neurological disease is considered, and the evidence for such disorders being due either to an underlying autoimmune process or that the encephalopathy is a direct result of the thyroid disorder is discussed.Entities:
