title: [Encephalopathy and Hashimoto thyroiditis].
abstract: A generalized epileptic seizure revealed a subactute encephalopathy which was attributed to Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Primary biliary cirrhosis was also discovered. The encephalopathy rapidly followed a favourable course under corticosteroid therapy, which confirms that it was an immune disease.
