Thyrotoxicosis, a thyroid disorder, can cause seizures and encephalopathy. Treating the thyroid condition resolved the neurological symptoms and normalized EEG findings.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Thyrotoxicosis is an excess of thyroid hormones.
  • Neurological manifestations of thyrotoxicosis are uncommon but documented.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with recurrent generalized and focal seizures.
  • These seizures were accompanied by signs of thyrotoxic encephalopathy.
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) during intercritical periods revealed characteristic triphasic waves.

Findings:

  • Seizures and encephalopathy resolved completely following treatment for hyperthyroidism.
  • EEG abnormalities normalized after successful management of thyroid dysfunction.

Implications:

  • Thyroid function assessment is crucial for unexplained encephalopathy with refractory seizures and triphasic waves.
