- Abstract: Hashimoto's encephalopathy is a neurological disorder associated with high titers of antithyroid antibodies. The common neurologic symptoms are seizure, stroke-like episode, or mental change. However other atypical presentations, such as aphasia, myoclonus, ataxia, and cognitive dysfunction have also been described. We report hear a 44-year-old woman with Hashimoto's encephalopathy. The patient presented with ocular flutter as a principal manifestation, which is rare in Hashimoto's encephalopathy.
