Unprovoked Isolated Pulmonary Embolism and Graves’ Disease in a Patient With Dyspnea: A Case Report

Graves’ disease is a commonly diagnosed disease with a plethora of manifestations that can lead to its diagnosis. One of the rarer presentations of Graves’ disease is hypercoagulability with the development of spontaneous venous thrombosis. In patients presenting with unprovoked pulmonary embolism,...

description Graves’ disease is a commonly diagnosed disease with a plethora of manifestations that can lead to its diagnosis. One of the rarer presentations of Graves’ disease is hypercoagulability with the development of spontaneous venous thrombosis. In patients presenting with unprovoked pulmonary embolism, we suggest evaluating the patient’s thyroid function tests as a potential underlying cause. To bring this issue to attention, we are presenting a rare case of isolated spontaneous pulmonary embolism development secondarily to underlying Graves’ disease.
