It has not been demonstrated, however, until fairly recently, that the liver may frequently undergo severe functional and anatomic changes in the syndrome of exophthalmic goiter.Habershon,1in 1874, reported a fatal case of exophthalmic goiter in which jaundice was a complicating feature. Sutcliff,2in 1898, observed jaundice in an extraordinarily acute case of exophthalmic goiter. Eder,3in 1906, reported three cases of exophthalmic goiter, in each of which jaundice was observed. He commented that Dieulafoy,4in 1901, had described the association of jaundice...Bibliography1. HABERSHON SO: Exophthalmic goiter; heart disease; jaundice; death, Lancet, 1874, i, 510.
