Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy as a Treatable Adult-Onset Cerebellar Ataxia Mimicking Spinocerebellar Degeneration

Abstract

The present study suggests that insidious adult-onset and truncal ataxia are common in the cerebellar ataxic form of HE, which mimics SCD, but that nystagmus and severe cerebellar atrophy are uncommon. Antithyroid and anti-NAE Abs may be useful for diagnosing cerebellar ataxic HE.
