TM is directly related to thyroxine toxicity. It is believed this disorder is a direct result of hyperthyroidism, specifically hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease or a multinodular goiter. Both cause the thyroid gland to overproduce thyroxine. A multinodular goiter is a condition where the thyroid develops nodules. Overproduction of thyroxine is due to the enlargement of the thyroid gland. Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system chronically stimulates the TSH receptor in the thyroid and induces overproduction of the thyroxine hormone.
