Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis as a Unique Initial Presentation of Thyroid Storm.
Neurologist
January 2025
Public Health, Khamis Mushayt General Hospital, Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: Thyrotoxicosis is associated with a hypercoagulable state, increasing the risk of thrombotic events like CVST. Literature review reveals thyroid hormone's role in promoting prothrombotic abnormalities, impacting coagulation factors and platelet function.
Case Report: This study explores the rare occurrence of thyroid storm complicated by deep cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in a young male with no prior history of thyroid disease.

Carotid artery dissection (CAD) is a recognized cause of ischemic stroke (IS) in young adults. At the same time, hyperthyroidism, particularly in the context of thyroid storm (TS), can also lead to IS through mechanisms related and unrelated to atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the coexistence of CAD and thyrotoxicosis is extremely rare.

Thyrotoxicosis appears to be a predisposing factor for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), which is a rare but important cause of stroke in young adults. The presentation of CVT is highly variable, ranging from a history of headaches (in the majority of cases) to deep coma, with the latter requiring invasive neurosurgical decompression. Although the long-term outcomes of CVT are favorable, multicenter cohort studies have shown that death may occur in up to 4% of cases in the acute phase and 8-10% of cases in the long term.

Department of Endocrinology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, PR China.
Background: The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying manifestations of bulbar paralysis in acute thyrotoxic myopathy (ATM) and the afflicted brain areas are unclear.
Purpose: We used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to evaluate the regional brain activities in patients with ATM.
Material And Methods: In total, 16 patients with ATM, 16 patients with hyperthyroidism without ATM, and 16 healthy controls underwent functional MRI scans.
Acute Pericarditis Triggered by Severe Thyrotoxicosis.

August 2024
Internal Medicine, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, USA.
Acute pericarditis is a common inflammatory disorder with several causes including infection, malignancy, acute myocardial infarction, and autoimmune disease. Acute pericarditis can rarely present in the setting of thyrotoxicosis. A 65-year-old man with a past medical history of HIV, diastolic dysfunction, and prediabetes presented with positional chest pain, respiratory distress, and altered mentation.
