概要
The authors carried out a study of thyroid function determining the levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in the serum of 60 patients (33 men, 27 women) between 31-79 years with Reinke's edema who had been treated microsurgically and phoniatrically. Hypothyroidism was found in one patient (a teacher, 47 years old, smoker). The study suggests that hypothyroidism is not an aetiological factor in the development Reinke's edema, which is in accordance with what other authors report.
