Abstract
Antiepileptics are associated with thyroid abnormalities. Phenytoin has the highest risk of hypothyroidism, although often subclinical. Rare cases of symptomatic hypothyroidism from phenytoin toxicity have been reported with chronic use. We present a case of acute-onset hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis likely triggered by phenytoin overdose.
