    Description Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT), often called Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, is a rare autoimmune disease that affects both the nervous system and endocrine system. Encephalopathy, or brain dysfunction, resulting from thyroid disease can lead to muscle twitches, seizures, confusion, and even paranoia. The three forms of SREAT are acute, subacute, and chronic. SREAT also ranges in severity, from mild cognitive impairment to life-threatening seizures.
