title: [Endocrine encephalopathies].
abstract: Endocrine encephalopathy, excepting hypoglycaemia and diabetes mellitus, is usually the clinical expression of non specific neuronal suffering secondary to a severe endocrine disturbance. The presentation is sometimes atypical and the prognosis poor but reversible with appropriate treatment; the condition should be recognised as the diagnosis can be made by simple investigations.
