Spinal cord neurological disorders associated with Hashimotos disease are rare and very rarely described.Thediagnosis is based on a set of arguments with the performance of an exhaustive assessment in order to eliminate other possible causes of medullary neurological damage. In this case, we report a 21 years old man, who was admitted for a spinal cord syndrome with D12-L1 sensory level and was diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis associated with Hashimotos thyroiditis. The evolution was favorable with regression of the symptomatology after bolus of corticoids followed by oral corticotherapy.
