Painless thyroiditis is a clinical entity of unknown origin. We report a case of a woman first seen with painless thyroiditis, who consequently developed a true hyperthyroidism, then exophthalmos and finally permanent hypothyroidism. The biopsy findings and serum antibodies determinations at the final stage were of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The case is discussed and the need for a long follow-up after a painless thyroiditis is stressed.
无痛性甲状腺炎是一种病因不明的临床病症。我们报告一例最初以无痛性甲状腺炎就诊的女性病例，该患者随后发展为真正的甲状腺功能亢进，继而出现突眼，最终发展为永久性甲状腺功能减退。最后阶段的活检结果和血清抗体测定符合桥本甲状腺炎。本文对该病例进行了讨论，并强调了无痛性甲状腺炎后进行长期随访的必要性。
