Unilateral Pleural Effusion in Grave’s Thyrotoxicosis; a Case Report

Abstract

In this report, we introduce a case of a middle aged patient who was admitted and diagnosed as Graves' disease; the case was associated with unilateral (right) pleural effusion which could be a rare complication of Graves' disease. As it is rarely reported and not widely known, this association may be under diagnosed and we suggest that Grave's hyperthyroidism should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusion in patients with thyrotoxicosis.
