Myxedema Coma as a Presentation of Panhypopituitarism Secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury.
Case Rep Endocrinol
October 2024
Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Central University Hospital of Asturias/University of Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Myxedema coma often involves reduced consciousness and low body temperature, potentially linked to thyroid issues, especially in patients with head trauma and central hormone deficiencies.
- A 52-year-old man with head trauma exhibited symptoms like drowsiness and hypotension, with initial tests showing normal TSH levels but low ACTH and FT4, and his condition worsened before improving with medication.
- The case highlights the importance of assessing both TSH and FT4 levels for diagnosing central hypothyroidism, as relying solely on TSH might lead to overlooked conditions in patients showing hormone deficiency symptoms post-trauma.
