Hyperthyroidism Acromegaloid With Hyperostosis

With hyperthyroidism, the skeleton develops faster in length than in thickness. This occurs due to the intense anabolic effect of iodinated thyroid hormones on osteoblasts, as well as the proliferation of the edges of cancellous bone, a decrease in the content of cancellous bone mass in it, and an increase in the space between trabeculae. The end result is some thickening of the spongy bone, which, along with faster lengthening, causes the bones to increase in length at a disproportionately faster rate. Uneven skeletal growth is one of the manifestations of hypothalamic syndrome, a characteristic sign of hyperthyroidism, which belongs to the group of autonomic dysfunctions.
