Neuroprotection in correction of neurological complications in primary hypothyroidism

The article presents the results of evaluation of nature of neurologic complications in primary hypothyroidism (PH) and their possible correction for 115 patients with confirmed primary thyroid deficiency. The diagnostic findings and the results of treatment have shown that nervous system impairment in PH was almost obligate among most patients and manifested mainly by cerebellar disorders, sensitive polyneuropathy, and cognitive disabilities. Combined therapy including not only replacement therapy, metabolic and vasoactive drugs, but also neuroprotective drugs, should be used for the correction of neurological complications of PH, because it contributes to a significant improvement and leads to regression of pathological symptoms.
