BACKGROUND:?Hashimoto encephalopathy (HE) is a rare autoimmune disorder. It is defined as a 'corticosteroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with thyroiditis'. CLINICAL OBSERVATION:? We describe a boy who suffered from HE, responded only to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. This is the first case report of immunoglobulin therapy in paediatric HE. CONCLUSION:?After review of the literature, we recommend that unexplained encephalopathy in children should lead to evaluation of thyroid autoantibody titres. Immunoglobulins should be considered.
