title: Neurological presentations of hypothyroidism: the importance of slow relaxing reflexes.
abstract: Neurological sequelae of hypothyroidism are well recognized and relatively common. Neurological symptoms occurring as a presenting feature of this illness are, however, uncommon. Here we report three patients who presented in such a way and in whom the diagnosis was only suspected because of slow relaxing reflexes.
