A 72-year-old woman presented with chorea, mild tachycardia, and elevation of T3RIA. T4 was not elevated until the third determination. Chorea resolved with treatment of hyperthyroidism. This case represents the first case of T3 hyperthyroid chorea and the oldest patient with hyperthyroid chorea described in the literature. It demonstrates yet another subtle way in which thyroid disease can present in the elderly.
一名72岁女性出现舞蹈症、轻度心动过速和T3放射免疫分析升高。直到第三次检测时T4才升高。舞蹈症经甲状腺功能亢进治疗后缓解。该病例代表了文献中描述的首例T3型甲状腺功能亢进性舞蹈症病例以及年龄最大的甲状腺功能亢进性舞蹈症患者。它展示了甲状腺疾病在老年人中表现的另一种微妙方式。
