Beschreibungen/Notizen

• According to the recently proposed criteria of Tamagno and colleagues, 3 a diagnosis of SREAT was made and the patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone 1 g once a day for 5 days, with excellent improvement of his clinical conditions: only minor distal tremors were observed and the EEG was normal. [...]we would like to conclude suggesting that serum antithyroid antibodies, independently of their pathogenic role, may be considered as potentially useful markers for monitoring SREAT progression; their levels may also be considered in those acute or subacute encephalopathies where a clear pathogenesis is missing, even in the presence of an euthyroid state.
