case_images: TSH of 5.32 micro-IU/mL, thyroid microsomal antibody of 2935.1 IU/mL (normal 0-9), and thyroglobulin antibody 75.1 IU/mL (normal 0-20). The EEG performed on day 2 demonstrated high voltage generalized sharply contoured theta activity (Figure 1(a)). By day 5 and after two doses of Solumedrol, his mental status improved dramatically and his EEG normalized (Figure 1(b)).
