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.

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.

Possible causes of the ineffective breathing are many and include obesity and central nervous system dysfunction. Quick action to improve respiratory function can gain valuable time.

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 ...
