The article presented a study 56 patients with polyneuropathy associated with the presence of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin (32 patients) and the resulting hypothyroidism (24 patients). A comparative study of clinical, laboratory and electromyographic characteristics of which are defined on the basis of characteristics needed for a correct diagnosis and eventual differentiation of this disease. The predominant clinical form of polyneuropathy associated with the presence of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin is motor and sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy with characteristic clinical and electromyographic markers demyelination. It is suggested that a common pathogenetic mechanism of the nervous system with Hashimoto's encephalopathy and polyneuropathy associated with the presence of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin. Noted the need with laboratory determination of thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine, and antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies.
