Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of Graves' disease as a cause of pediatric hyperthyroidism.
  • To emphasize the importance of differentiating Graves' disease from other thyroid disorders in children.
  • To underscore the necessity of vigilant thyroid status monitoring in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pediatric endocrine literature.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria for hyperthyroidism in children.
