A fifteen year-old @entity1 presented with several @entity174 after a road traffic accident. Five days later, fat @entity887 occurred, complicated by @entity649 ( @entity649 ) and @entity5642 ( @entity5642 ). She was successfully managed in the intensive therapy unit, and was transferred to a general surgery after five weeks. @entity591 and fever persisted without any other sign of @entity281 . Clinical examination showed exophthalmos and a thyroid murmur. The venous concentration of T4 was increased: 204 nmol . 1(-1) (N: 70-150), whereas that of T3 was normal: 2.3 nmol . 1(-1) (N: 1-1.25). No other investigations were performed. The regression of clinical symptoms and a normalization of T4 were seen after treatment ( @entity5012 and @entity10719 ). Post-traumatic @entity1378 is discussed. Although classical, this syndrome was not well documented, as was shown in the literature survey. After @entity130 or an acute illness, an early fall in thyroid hormone concentrations was usually seen; a late increase in T4 was a rare occurrence.
