Myoclonus and encephalopathy are unusual in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
We describe the case of a 59-year-old male with PD who developed myoclonus and encephalopathy. Underlying hypothyroidism was revealed after admission and treated with levothyroxine. Myoclonus and encephalopathy were completely resolved following thyroid hormone replacement.
Hypothyroidism can cause reversible myoclonus and encephalopathy along with unusual aggravation of parkinsonism symptoms in patients with PD.
帕金森病(PD)患者出现肌阵挛和脑病并不常见。
我们描述了一名59岁患帕金森病男性出现肌阵挛和脑病的病例。入院后发现潜在的甲状腺功能减退,并给予左甲状腺素治疗。甲状腺激素替代治疗后,肌阵挛和脑病完全缓解。
甲状腺功能减退可导致帕金森病患者出现可逆性肌阵挛和脑病,以及帕金森症状异常加重。
