Hyperthyroidism is much more difficult for diagnosing in elderly patients since its symptoms might be rubbed off and somewhat atypical.

One of the most difficult questions in decision on the strategy of treatment of toxic goiter in elderly people having thyrotoxicosis is the question of indications to surgery. The article describes clinical symptoms and exact indications to surgical treatment in elderly people with thyrotoxicosis and assesses long-term results.
