We report the case of a patient with severe hypothyroid coma in whom hypothyroid-related neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia was suspected, videoscopically confirmed, and successfully treated. This complication has not previously been described, and may have contributed to the historically high mortality associated with severe cases of hypothyroid coma. In the future, the early detection and aggressive treatment of this complication and its sequelae should ensure a further reduction in mortality from hypothyroid coma.
我们报告了一例严重甲状腺功能减退昏迷患者的病例，该患者疑似患有与甲状腺功能减退相关的神经源性口咽吞咽困难，经视频检查确诊并成功治疗。此前尚未描述过这种并发症，它可能是导致甲状腺功能减退昏迷严重病例历史上死亡率居高不下的原因之一。未来，对这种并发症及其后遗症的早期检测和积极治疗应能确保进一步降低甲状腺功能减退昏迷的死亡率。
