Myxedema Psychosis: Neuropsychiatric Manifestations and Rhabdomyolysis Unmasking Hypothyroidism.

Conclusion. Myxedema psychosis is a rare presentation of hypothyroidism-a common endocrine disorder. Scarce data are describing this entity; hence, there is currently a lack of awareness amongst clinicians regarding proper identification and management. Moreover, the atypical nature of presentations occasionally adds to a diagnostic dilemma. Thus, any patient with new-onset psychosis should be screened for hypothyroidism, and awareness of this entity must be emphasized amongst clinicians and guideline makers. PMID: 32655962 [PubMed]
