Overview
Silent thyroiditis was described as a separate form of thyroiditis a few decades ago. Silent thyroiditis was primarily known as the painless form of the subacute thyroiditis as clinical course is the same. It was differentiated from postpartum thyroiditis on the basis of thyroid involvement outside of the postpartum period.
Historical perspective
Silent thyroiditis was primarily known as the painless form of the subacute thyroiditis as clinical course is the same. It was differentiated from postpartum thyroiditis on the basis of thyroid involvement outside of the postpartum period. In 1975, the detailed description of thyrotoxicosis caused by silent thyroiditis was published.[1][2][3]
- In 1975, Papapetrou PD and Jackson IM first described the thyrotoxicosis caused by the silent thyroiditis.
- Postpartum thyroiditis is indistinguishable from silent thyroiditis. The sporadic nature of silent thyroiditis explains the involvement of thyroiditis outside of the postpartum period.
- Silent thyroiditis is also identical to the lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) on biopsy but was differentiated on the basis of less extensive thyroid involvement.
