Abstract

TSH secreting hypophysis tumours, functioning thyroid adenoma and overdose of thyroid hormones cause hyperthyroidism and Craves disease. Hyperthyroidism is seen mostly in women. The most important complication of hyperthymidism is thyroid crisis. Anesthesia, surgical stress, vaginal delivery, infectious disease, and thyroiditis which developes 1 or 2 weeks after radioactive iodine therapy can initiate thyroid crisis.
