Pathophysiologically, it can arise from autoimmune mechanisms, viral or bacterial infections, radiation, or drug toxicity, leading to follicular cell injury and the release of preformed thyroid hormones Clinical manifestations vary depending on whether the presentation is painful or painless, frequently progressing through a triphasic pattern of transient thyrotoxicosis followed by hypothyroidism before eventual resolution or permanent hormone deficiency
