Abstract

Early partial thyroidectomy, performed in two cases of premature dementia, did not give any result. In contrast to prof. Verkeley, who published 10 cases of amazingly quick cure by such an operation, the author sees in it only an interesting physiological experience, and not a way to treat psychosis; advises to refrain from the operation until the exact indications for it have been worked out.
