摘要
A boy aged 20 months presented with thyrotoxicosis. The onset of the disease may have been as early as 10 months. At 29 months, after 6 months' treatment for thyrotoxicosis, he developed raised intracranial pressure due to premature fusion of skull sutures. This was relieved by linear craniectomies.
