Graves' disease is a commonly diagnosed disease with a plethora of manifestations that can lead to its diagnosis. One of the rarer presentations of Graves' disease is hypercoagulability with the development of spontaneous venous thrombosis. In patients presenting with unprovoked pulmonary embolism, we suggest evaluating the patient's thyroid function tests as a potential underlying cause. To bring this issue to attention, we are presenting a rare case of isolated spontaneous pulmonary embolism development secondarily to underlying Graves' disease.
格雷夫斯病是一种常见的诊断疾病,有多种表现可导致其确诊。格雷夫斯病较罕见的表现之一是高凝状态并伴有自发性静脉血栓形成。对于出现不明原因肺栓塞的患者,我们建议评估其甲状腺功能检查,以寻找潜在病因。为引起对这个问题的关注,我们现报告一例罕见病例,该病例因潜在的格雷夫斯病继发孤立性自发性肺栓塞。
