This study was to review the common and unusual symptoms of hypothyroidism.
A retrospective study was done of forty thousand patients attending Sultan Qaboos University Health Center (SQU), within a period of three years. Sixty-three patients proved to have either clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism and were screened for the different symptoms & signs of hypothyroidism.
The well-known symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism reported in the medical textbooks were uncommon in this study. Symptoms such as dysarthria and dysphagia not usually mentioned in the medical textbooks were reported.
Early diagnosis by screening both middle-aged as well as older patients is advantageous.
本研究旨在回顾甲状腺功能减退症的常见和不寻常症状。
对在三年时间内就诊于苏丹卡布斯大学健康中心(SQU)的40000名患者进行了一项回顾性研究。63名患者被证实患有临床或亚临床甲状腺功能减退症,并针对甲状腺功能减退症的不同症状和体征进行了筛查。
医学教科书中报道的甲状腺功能减退症的常见症状和体征在本研究中并不常见。报告了医学教科书中通常未提及的构音障碍和吞咽困难等症状。
对中年及老年患者进行筛查以实现早期诊断是有益的。
