The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1976
A 74-year-old man presented with mental obtundation and massive ascites without evidence of significant impairment of liver function. Thyroid function studies suggested hypothyroidism. Aspirated ascitic fluid had the characteristics of an exudate. Thyroid replacement therapy resulted in rapid clinical improvement with resolution of the ascites.

Untreated or unrecognized hypothyroidism may progress to severe decompensated hypothyroidism or myxedema coma. Relatively few cases are reported in the literature since the first case was apparently reported from the St. Thomas Hospital in London in 1879.

Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1980
The radiological findings on barium enema examination of 239 patients with thyroid deficiency (192 hypothyroid and 47 myxedematous) were reviewed. A new radiologic finding of transverse ridging superimposed on megacolon is described in myxedema and an explanation for this finding is postulated.

Myxedema coma is the term given to the most severe presentation of profound hypothyroidism and is often fatal in spite of therapy. Decompensation of the hypothyroid patient into a coma may be precipitated by a number of drugs, systemic illnesses (eg, pneumonia), and other causes.

Critical Care Clinics, 1991
Myxedema coma is a rare condition associated with high mortality. The pathophysiology is complex and often involves profound hypothyroidism as well as an inciting event. The diagnosis should be suspected based on the clinical presentation, and treatment should not be delayed while awaiting confirmatory laboratory data.

Myxedema coma, an extreme expression of hypothyroidism, represents a medical emergency with high mortality. Hypothermia and cerebro-vascular accidents should be taken into account for correct differential diagnosis. The treatment of myxedema coma is based on prevention of the precipitating factors and on the administration of generous doses of L ...

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1977
Hypothyroidism can present a wide range of psychiatric manifestations, including personality disturbance, neurotic traits and psychotic features. Psychiatric treatment techniques without recognition and correction of the endocrine root of the mental disturbance will result in a failure of treatment.However, severe hypothyroidism can exist with a ...
