BACKGROUND
Graves' hyperthyroidism has a number of well-recognized but relatively rare extrathyroid manifestations such as thyroid acropachy, pretibial myxedema, and congestive heart failure.
METHODS
A 38-year-old Caucasian woman presented to the out-patient clinic with symptoms of hyperthyroidism
Thyroid hormone is essential for fetal neurological development. Among other etiologies, fetal hypothyroidism may be caused by maternal exposure to antithyroid drugs (ATDs). The most common presentation of fetal hypothyroidism is fetal goiter, which can cause dystocia, in addition to airway
Neonatal hyperthyroidism is rare disorder due to the passage of thyroid receptor antibodies (TRBs) from the mother to the fetus. Neonatal thyrotoxicosis can present in several ways and if unrecognized, can be fatal. We present a preterm neonate who developed fetal hydrops and tricuspid regurgitation

We report on a patient with Graves' disease with radiation retinopathy caused by low-dose irradiation and antithyroid drug-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive vasculitis.
METHODS
A 38-year-old woman with Graves' disease presented with bilateral blurred vision,
There has been little information regarding the pharmacokinetics of antithyroid drugs in patients with endstage renal disease (ESRD). We report here the pharmacokinetics and dialyzability of the antithyroid drug thiamazole in a chronic hemodialysis patient with hyperthyroidism. The patient was a
Three cases of palpebral edema associated with Graves' disease are described. These patients had unilateral edema and minimal erythema of the upper eyelid. Notable was that, histologically, dermal edema and dilation of lymphatic vessels were observed, but deposition of mucopolysaccharides was not.

In newborn rats, antenatal thyroid stimulation with thyroid-releasing hormone is associated with developmental decreases in pulmonary antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased survival rates during prolonged hyperoxic exposure, with pathologic evidence of increased O2-induced lung damage.
A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of severe diarrhea, irritableness, and severe pitting edema of the legs. The patient had been well until 5 years before admission, when a tremor and tachycardia developed and a diagnosis of Graves' disease was made. Treatment with methimazole

We report a 17-year-old male patient with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) associated with hyperthyroidism. He presented with a 2-month history of fatigue, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, and a 12-kg weight loss when he was admitted to our hospital. He had iritis, which was
A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of generalized edema. Coexistence of severe hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome was detected by laboratory examination. High titer of both antimicrosomal antibody and antithyroid peroxidase antibody indicated Hashimotoâs disease. Renal
Graves' disease (GD) may display uncommon manifestations. We report a patient with rare complications of GD and present a comprehensive literature review. A 35-year-old woman presented with a two-week history of dyspnea, palpitations, and edema. She had a raised jugular venous pressure, goiter, and
