THYROTOXICOSIS AS A CAUSE OF CEREBRAL DYSRHYTHMIA AND CONVULSIVE SEIZURES

Abstract

It is known that the increased impact of thyroid hormone in thyrotoxicosis produces a number of symptoms involving the central nervous system. Thyrotoxicosis can even produce such gross neurological phenomena as coma, bulbar palsies, athetotic and choreiform movements, as has been well demonstrated by Waldenstrom (1945).
