Hyperthyroidism Presenting as Jaundice in a Child

Abstract

Hyperthyroidism-related liver disease is an uncommon cause of jaundice in children. There is scarce data on its clinical and histological features and management. We report the case of a five-year-old girl with thyrotoxicosis associated with hepatitis, which was managed solely and successfully with carbimazole and propranolol.
