Hyperthyroidism commonly causes tachyarrhythmias such as sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. Impaired atrioventricular conduction is a very rare complication of hyperthyroidism. We report a case of a patient with hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease presenting with syncope and complete atrioventricular block. Because lack of awareness of atypical presentation in patients with hyperthyroidism may delay diagnosis and treatment, the recognition that hyperthyroidism can be one of the reversible causes of complete atrioventricular block is important.

ABSTRACT Three patients with so-called localized pretibial myxoedema were studied. The serum titre of LATS activity and the contents of iodo-amino acids were determined. One patient who simultaneously developed a diffuse toxic goitre and pretibial myxoedema showed a high titre of LATS. The second patient who developed pretibial myxoedema showed no LATS activity. This patient probably had a recurrence of Graves' disease in a nodular goitre. The third patient who developed pretibial myxoedema a few years after thyroidectomy for diffuse toxic goitre possibly had a low titre of LATS. The serum contents of iodo-amino acids were increased in cases 1 and 2. The analysis was unsuccessful in case 3. The significance of the findings is briefly discussed. It is concluded that the development of pretibial myxoedema is not correlated with the occurrence of LATS.

Pretibial myxoedema and thyroid acropachy are rare manifestations of Graves’ disease. Clinically, pretibial myxoedema is characterised by hyper-pigmented,asymmetrical, indurated non-pitting lesions of the lower limbs, whilst thyroidacropachy presents as digital clubbing and swelling of digits and toes. We describe a59-year-old female, who presents with pretibial myxoedema and thyroid acropachy,a decade post-thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease.
