RESUMO

Hyperthyroidism in the elderly often presents diagnostic challenges. Elderly patients rarely present with classical signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. More commonly, their presentation is ayical which leads to a delay in making a diagnosis. Such delays can sometimes decrease the functional capacity of the affected patient and reduce their chance for recovery. Herein we report a 66-year-old woman whose diagnosis of hyperthyroidism was delayed. Standard therapies were ineffective. Plasmapheresis was performed to control the manifestations of the hyperthyroid state, resulting in improvement in the patient's condition.
