[Thyrotoxic myopathy].
A variety of neuromuscular disorders has been described in adults in association with overactivity of the thyroid (Millikan and Haines, 1953; Ramsay, 1966; Engel, 1972). The most common of these disorders is a chronic myopathy, characterized by muscular atrophy and weakness involving predominantly proximal muscles (Adams and Rosman, 1971). The myopathic symptoms may precede the symptoms of thyr...
متن کاملElectromyographic and endocrine studies in chronic thyrotoxic myopathy.
If the number of cases of a disease reported in the literature can be taken as an index of frequency, chronic thyrotoxic myopathy is a very rare disease. Its interest lies, however, not so much in its rarity as in the light it may throw on the inter-relationship of the endocrine glands and muscle function. In a previous paper (Sanderson and Adey, 1949) some aspects of this problem were reviewed...
متن کاملA Case of Thyrotoxic Myopathy with Extreme Type 2 Fiber Predominance
In hyperthyroidism, many patients had neuromuscular symptoms and clinical weakness correlated with free thyroxine (T4) concentrations. The common clinical symptoms of chronic thyrotoxic myopathy were characterized by progressive weakness in proximal muscles and atrophy. A 55-year old woman was visited our hospital with two years of progressive weakness of both legs. Physical examination showed ...
متن کاملAcute Thyrotoxic Bulbar Myopathy with Encephalopathic Behaviour: An Uncommon Complication of Hyperthyroidism
Objective. Acute thyrotoxic bulbar palsy is rare, severe, and rapidly progressive. We describe a case of thyrotoxicosis with bulbar palsy, encephalopathy, and pyramidal tract dysfunction. Case Report. 64-year-old white male with toxic multinodular goiter presented with rapid atrial fibrillation. He had mild tremor, normal cranial nerve examination, 4/5 strength in all extremities, normal reflex...
متن کاملThyrotoxic muscle disease.
Evidence suggests that most hyperthyroid patients have a proximal myopathy. The more severe this is the more frequently are distal muscles, and ultimately, bulbar muscles involved. Probably acute thyrotoxic myopathy or encephalopathy supervenes on a previous chronic background or occurs concurrently with skeletal muscle involvement. Using careful electromyographic techniques evidence of myopath...
