Abstract
Graves-basedow's disease is an autoimmune thyreopathy which represents the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in both adults and children. This disease would be related to a genetic predisposition influenced by environmental triggers, including stress. This study aims to present a case of Graves' disease in children whose unusual trigger would be student abuse, a broad challenge with multiple implications.Entities:
