Abstract
|
|
|
We describe here two Graves¡¯ patients who have presented with atypical symptoms. Interestingly, both of them had symptoms related to imbalance of body fluid homeostasis. Chief complaint of a 35-year-old woman (case 1) was the ipsilateral edema of upper body. A 33-year-old man (case 2) who had severe polyuria has referred from urology department with impression of diabetes insipidus. Both of them denied any typical symptoms of Graves¡¯ disease at presentation. These rare extrathyroid manifestations of Graves¡¯ disease were completely subsided after antithyroid drug treatment. We introduce their clinical courses and possible pathophysiological mechanisms of the atypical symptoms of Graves¡¯ disease.
