Two cases of severe thyrotoxicosis are described. They both exhibited choreo-athetoid movements which were abolished by successful treatment of the thyrotoxicosis. It is suggested that the tremor of mild thyrotoxicosis is one end of a spectrum at which choreo-athetosis is at the most severe end. A tentative explanation of this hypothesis is given in the discussion.
本文描述了两例严重甲状腺毒症病例。两例均表现出舞蹈样徐动症,甲状腺毒症成功治疗后症状消失。有观点认为,轻度甲状腺毒症的震颤是症状谱的一端,而舞蹈样徐动症则处于该症状谱的最严重一端。讨论中对这一假说给出了初步解释。
