25 patients with hypothyroidism and 100 patients with hyperthyroidism were anamnestically, clinically, serologically and radiologically examined for the presence of a para- or pseudorheumatic symptomatology. The evaluation was carried out in comparison to the control groups of the same sex and age distribution. In nearly half the cases in hypothyroidism a symptomatology with polyarthralgias, myalgias, weakness of the muscles, acroparaesthesias, rigidity, swelling of the fingers and thickenings of the synovial membrane which are to be classified as "myxoedematous pseudorheumatism" stood in the foreground, which for the largest part were concomitant with a polyarthrosis. Furthermore a syntropy with the cervicobrachial syndrome, the humeroscapular periarthritis, calcifications of bursa and insertions of the sinews, the gout and the carpal tunnel syndrome were found. In the not infrequently prevailing pararheumatic symptomatology differential-diagnostic difficulties may develop within the total clinical picture. The patients with hyperthyroidism showed a symptomatology of the joints and tissues of the upper extremities which above all had the character of trifles.
