A case of myxoedema presenting as epilepsy is described. In myxoedematous patients without demonstrable cause for their fits, the epilepsy commonly responds to thyroid replacement therapy alone. In this patient, control of hypertension was ineffective in eradicating fits. The association between myxoedema and epilepsy, though previously reported, is surprisingly uncommon and represents a good prognosis within new epileptics.
本文描述了一例表现为癫痫的黏液性水肿病例。在没有明确发作原因的黏液性水肿患者中,癫痫通常仅对甲状腺替代疗法有反应。在该患者中,控制高血压对消除发作无效。黏液性水肿与癫痫之间的关联虽有既往报道,但出人意料地并不常见,且在新发癫痫患者中预后良好。
