ABSTRACT
We describe here two Graves' patients who have presented with atypical symptoms. Interestingly, both of them had symptoms related to imbalance of body fluid homeostasis. Chief complaint of a 35-year-old woman (case 1) was the ipsilateral edema of upper body. A 33-year-old man (case 2) who had severe polyuria has referred from urology department with impression of diabetes insipidus. Both of them denied any typical symptoms of Graves' disease at presentation. These rare extrathyroid manifestations of Graves' disease were completely subsided after antithyroid drug treatment. We introduce their clinical courses and possible pathophysiological mechanisms of the atypical symptoms of Graves' disease.
