ABSTRACT

With the intention to abridge the duration of the hospitalization for preparing Grave's disease to surgery, we have conduct a study about 30 patients. In 21 cases taken haphazardly without modification of the associate treatment, a treatment by 16 tab/day of antithyroid drugs was used that is to say the double of the habitual do sage. The normal rate of thyroid hormons was obtained after an average delay of 17 days under high quantities of antithyroid drugs against 29-46 days in the 9 patients under 8 tab/day that is to say one reduction of the hospitalization duration of 50%. We didn't note a singnificant difference for the undesirable effects of antithyroid drugs or the complications per and post surgery
