Article Synopsis
- Myxoedema coma is a serious condition resulting from severe hypothyroidism, leading to multiple organ dysfunction, altered consciousness, and low body temperature, with high mortality rates if not treated early.
- A case study highlighted a 66-year-old man who presented with severe symptoms and was later diagnosed with myxoedema coma and laryngeal swelling, requiring intubation and tracheostomy to manage respiratory failure.
- Despite the challenges posed by the supraglottic swelling, the patient improved and was treated successfully with oral thyroid medication, demonstrating that this condition can sometimes be managed without invasive procedures.
