weaknesses. Physical examination showed diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland and mild muscle atrophy. Serum
creatine kinase was slightly increased and electromyography showed a myopathic pattern. Muscle biopsy showed non-specific
myopathic changes. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone was very low, whereas thyroxine (T4) was greatly
increased as well as anti-thyroglobulin, anti-microsome, and TSH-receptor antibody. The patient ?s symptoms were
improved during the treatment with propilthiouracil.Key Words : Myopathy, Hyperthyroidism, Graves disease"
