Amiodarone, an iodine-rich benzofuranic derivative, may often induce hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. We report two cases of complex dysthyroidism, in which hypothyroidism and then hyperthyroidism alternated: we recall five former observations found in the literature. Their nosologic position and pathophysiologic mechanisms are discussed.
