Reversible corticospinal tract disease due to hyperthyroidism

C A Garcia et al. Arch Neurol. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

Corticospinal tract malfunction was seen in a patient with Graves' disease. The absence of intracranial and intraspinal lesions likely to cause the neurologic manifestations and their regression after control of thyroid dysfunction favors a cause-effect relationship. We review and compare similar cases previously reported and discuss the mechanisms.
