RESUMEN

Introducción: La Encefalopatía de Hashimoto (EH) es una patología asociada a distiroidismo y a otras enfermedades de carácter autoinmune. La fisiopatología no es precisa y clínicamente la enfermedad se caracteriza por alteraciones neurológicas y psiquiátricas en ausencia de infección cerebral. Los anticuerpos antitiroideos son elevados y los estudios de imagen pueden ser normales. La corticoterapia es el tratamiento de elección.
Reporte de caso: Mujer de 36 años de edad con monoparesia, alteraciones de la conducta y la personalidad, además de hipertiroidismo. Se realiza punción lumbar y se descartan causas infecciosas, metabólicas y neoplásicas de encefalopatía, por lo cual se solicita resonancia magnética de cráneo, con reporte de imágenes compatibles con abscesos cerebrales diversos, de origen por determinar. Al considerarse una probable encefalopatía de Hashimoto, se solicitan anticuerpos anti-tiroglobulina y antiperoxidasa, detectándose títulos elevados. Se inició corticoterapia y posteriormente esquema de inmunoglobulina con pobre respuesta al tratamiento.
Conclusiones: Este caso asocia una Encefalopatía de Hashimoto con hipertiroidismo, asociación poco frecuente reportada en la literatura. Se sospechó de una vasculitis primaria de SNC debido a los valores elevados de complemento, sin embargo, no se realizó biopsia cerebral para definir un diagnóstico más preciso.
