Abstract:Our objective is to report a case of thyrotoxicosis following pituitary adenectomy
for Cushing0
s disease, the only pediatric case to our knowledge. No thyroid
antibodies were detected, and the thyrotoxicosis was successfully treated
for 3 months with no relapse after 5 years of follow-up. The cause of thyrotoxicosis
remains unknown.
