title: [Dysthyroidism and Parkinson's disease].
abstract: Associations between hyperthyroidism and Parkinson disease have been reported. The treatment of the hyperthyroid state seems to improve the extrapyramidal symptomatology. We report a case of a woman suffering from Parkinson disease and hypothyroidism. The treatment with thyroxine increased parkinsonian tremor. Dopamine regulation of TSH circadian and pulsatile release is not clear. These observations stress the possible role of thyroid hormones in regulating dopaminergic metabolism.
