%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, caused by transthyretin gene mutations, progresses with systemic impact and often presents peripheral neuropathy. Recent research reveals central nervous system involvement, marked by leptomeningeal amyloid accumulation and transient focal neurological episodes displaying cortical dysfunction.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A 47-year-old Caucasian man with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis presented with motor aphasia, right hemiparesis, fever, and an altered state of consciousness. Tests ruled out stroke or infection. While improving, the patient reported an ongoing auditory repetition phenomenon for 48 hours despite efforts to shift focus or introduce new stimuli.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>This represents the first known case report documenting palinacousis in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis attributed to central nervous system involvement. This case highlights the complexities in assessment and management of patients when neurological and psychiatric symptoms overlap.
