Abstract
Radiation thyroiditis resulting from radioactive iodine-131 treatment for Graves’ disease is an uncommon complication. Although a majority of patients are asymptomatic or manifest mild symptoms that can be managed conservatively, published literature describing severe radiation thyroiditis resulting in significant morbidity is lacking. We herein report on six patients with severe radiation thyroiditis that resulted in hospitalisation, including an unusual complication of myopericarditis.
