Summary: A 67-year-old male patient was admitted because of unexplained weight loss, apathy and lethargy. He had a prior history of degenerative aortic valve disease and heart failure. A mechanical prosthetic aortic valve was implanted.During the investigation the clinical exams and the laboratory fi ndings lead to the diagnosis of apathetic thyrotoxicosis. This entity is found mainly in the elderly population in which the usual hyperkinetic presentation is replaced by apathy, inactivity, tiredness and lack of reaction to the stress.

O doente foi internado para esclarecimento de quadro de emagrecimento acentuado, apatia e prostração de instalação recente. Durante a investigação, foi documentado um padrão laboratorial que, conjuntamente com o quadro clínico, levou ao diagnóstico de tireotoxicose apática. Trata-se de uma forma rara de apresentação, encontrada principalmente na população idosa, em que as manifestações clínicas habituais, com hipercinesia, são substituídas por apatia, astenia, desinteresse e falta de reacção ao stress, sendo, por vezes, a insuficiência cardíaca ou a descompensação da mesma, a apresentação inicial.Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna2005-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1670Internal Medicine; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2005): Janeiro/ Março; 15-21Medicina Interna; Vol. 12 N.º 1 (2005): Janeiro/ Março; 15-212183-99800872-671Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1670https://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1670/1132Correia, AnaGonçalves, AnaMenezes Falcão, LuizRavara, Lucianoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-04-01T06:11:06Zoai:oai.revista.spmi.pt:article/1670Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:55:30.682053Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
