AB  - Hyperthyroidism  is  less  common  in  children  compared  to  hypothyroidism  but  is  often  associated  with  more  severe  symptoms.  The  clinical  manifestations  of  hyperthyroidism  in  children  and  adolescents  are  similar  to  those  seen  in  adults.  Children  may  have  some  additional  manifestations  due  to  the  effect  of  excessive  thyroid  hormone  on  growth  and  development.  Although  there  are  several  causes  of  hyperthyroidism  in  children  (Table  522-1),  Graves’  disease  is  the  most  common.
