AB  - Hypothyroidism  may  be  caused  by  multiple  factors.  Myxedema  coma  is  a  rare,  life-threatening  expression  of  hypothyroidism.  It  may  be  precipitated  by  infection,  cold  exposure,  trauma,  medications,  or  myocardial  infarction.  It  classically  occurs  during  the  winter  months  in  elderly  women  with  undiagnosed  or  undertreated  hypothyroidism.
