Psychiatric manifestations may be a circumstance of discovery of hyperthyroidism, but may also contribute to delayed diagnosis. We report in this work, two clinical cases that confirm the richness of clinical manifestations and sometimes the delay to diagnosis in our socio-cultural context. These were two 52-year-old and 48-year-old patients with psychomotor agitation syndrome, severe anxiety, and delusional persecution syndrome, all of which occurred on goiter. In both cases, the thyroid assessment showed a collapsed TSH and elevated thyroid hormones, confirming the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. The evolution was favorable under synthetic antithyroid and neuroleptics. Both patients subsequently benefited from subtotal thyroidectomy with simple operative follow-up. Multidisciplinary care, psychiatry and internal medicine were provided in both cases.

Abstract: (french)
Les manifestations psychiatriques peuvent constituer une circonstance de découverte de l’hyperthyroïdie, mais peuvent également contribuer à retarder le diagnostic. Nous rapportons dans ce travail, deux cas cliniques qui confirment la richesse des manifestations cliniques et parfois le retard possible au diagnostic dans notre contexte socioculturel. Il s’agissait de deux patientes âgées de 52 ans et 48 ans ayant présenté un syndrome d’agitation psychomotrice, une angoisse très marquée et un syndrome délirant à thématique de persécution, le tout survenant sur un goitre. Le bilan thyroïdien réalisé a objectivé dans les deux cas, une TSH effondrée et des hormones thyroïdiennes élevées, confirmant le diagnostic d’hyperthyroïdie. L’évolution été favorable sous antithyroïdiens de synthèse et neuroleptiques. Une prise en charge multidisciplinaire, psychiatrie et médecine interne a été assurée dans les deux cas.
