Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE), also known as steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT), is a rare autoimmune disease that remains poorly understood. Here, we report a patient who experienced numerous comatose relapses early in the disease course. Despite prolonged corticotherapy, cognitive deficits have persisted through the two-year post-diagnosis follow-up. This case highlights the protracted nature of HE.
桥本脑病(HE),也称为与自身免疫性甲状腺炎相关的类固醇反应性脑病(SREAT),是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,目前仍知之甚少。在此,我们报告一名患者,其在疾病病程早期经历了多次昏迷复发。尽管进行了长期的皮质激素治疗,但在诊断后的两年随访中认知缺陷一直存在。该病例凸显了桥本脑病病程迁延的特点。
