Hypothyroidism: A Peculiar Presentation.
Curēus 2023 December
Hypothyroidism constitutes a prevalent pathology, with up to 80% of afflicted individuals displaying associated muscular symptoms. However, these symptoms rarely appear as the first or only manifestation of hypothyroidism. We report the case of a previously healthy 21-year-old man, diagnosed with hypothyroid myopathy after experiencing intense myalgias and cramps, which were relieved by oral administration of levothyroxine. This case demonstrates the significance of considering thyroid-related conditions when patients present muscular symptoms as these can represent the only or initial indicator of hypothyroidism. Timely thyroxine supplementation leads to the gradual resolution of most neuromuscular symptoms.
