Hypothyroidism is a prevalent condition in the general population that is treatable with appropriately dosed thyroid hormone replacement medication. Infrequently, patients will present with myxedema coma, characterized by hypothermia, hypotension, bradycardia, and altered mental status in the setting of severe hypothyroidism. Myxedema coma has also been known to manifest in a number of unusual and dangerous forms. Here, we present the case of a woman we diagnosed with an uncharacteristic expression of myxedema coma and nonconvulsive seizure complicated by a right middle cerebral artery infarct.
甲状腺功能减退症在普通人群中很常见,可通过适当剂量的甲状腺激素替代药物进行治疗。少数情况下,患者会出现黏液性水肿昏迷,其特征为体温过低、低血压、心动过缓以及在严重甲状腺功能减退的情况下出现精神状态改变。黏液性水肿昏迷也已知会以多种不寻常且危险的形式表现出来。在此,我们报告一例被诊断为黏液性水肿昏迷非典型表现且伴有非惊厥性癫痫发作并合并右侧大脑中动脉梗死的女性病例。
