AB  - The  term  hyperthyroidism  refers  to  an  overproduction  of  hormone  by  the  thyroid  gland.  The  resulting  physiologic  syndrome  of  excess  thyroid  hormone  is  termed  thyrotoxicosis,  although  the  two  terms  should  not  be  used  synonymously.  Hyperthyroidism  should  be  used  to  describe  conditions  associated  with  a  sustained  overproduction  of  thyroid  hormone,  such  as  Graves'  disease  or  toxic  multinodular  goiter  (TMNG).  Several  other  conditions  or  situations  result  in  transient  increases  in  circulating  thyroid  hormone,  which  may  result  in  thyrotoxicosis,  but  they  do  not  cause  hyperthyroidism  in  the  strict  sense  of  the  term  (Table  3-1).  This  chapter  reviews  the  epidemiology,  clinical  presentation,  evaluation,  and  management  of  patients  with  hyperthyroidism,  focusing  on  surgical  management.
