Thyrotoxicosis means an excess of thyroid hormone in the body. Having this condition also means that you have a low level of thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH, in your bloodstream, because the pituitary gland senses that you have “enough” thyroid hormone. If you are thyrotoxic, you may feel nervous or irritable, because all of your body’s functions are speeding up.
The Signs of Thyrotoxicosis are :
❤ Von Graefe sign :- Lag of the upper lid on downward gaze.
❤ Stellwag sign ;- Infrequent blinking
❤ Dalrymple sign :- (Lid retraction) Staring appearance
❤ Joffroy’s sign :- Absence of wrinkling on the forehead on looking upwards
❤ Moebius sign :– Lack of convergence of the eye ball
❤ Widening of palpebral fissures
❤ Jellinek sign :- Hyperpigmented lid skin
❤ Kocher’s sign :- Frightened ,staring look.
