This case report provides important insights into the relationship between hyperthyroidism and neurologic/cardiac complications, particularly in those with a genetic predisposition. SCN5A mutation possibly plays a role in the complex neurological syndrome associated with hyperthyroidism. Further studies are warranted to better understand the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic options for these complex conditions.
