Several neurological diseases like acute and chronic myopathy, periodic paralysis, ophthalmoplegia, and rarely myasthenia gravis are known associations of thyrotoxicosis. However, neuropathy in hyperthyroidism is not frequently reported. Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of neuropathy in hyperthyroid patients. Methods: 60 patients of hyperthyroidism were included in the study, detailed history and clinical examination was performed. 60 normal subjects were included as a control. Nerve Conduction Studies were performed in neurophysiology lab of Physiology dept of JNMC Aligarh. Result: While comparing motor conduction parameters of hyperthyroid patients with the control group, NCV and Latencies do not show a significant difference, while the Amplitude of the Median Nerve in both the limbs shows a significant decrease. On comparing Sensory conduction parameters of hyperthyroid patients with the control group, the amplitude of the Median Nerve, Sural Nerve shows a significant decrease, while latencies of Median Nerve and Sural Nerve is increased in hyperthyroid patients. Conclusion: Our study indicates predominant sensorimotor axonal neuropathy in newly diagnosed hyperthyroid patients. We suggest neurological investigation should be included at the time of diagnosis in these patients.&#13;
