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.
