In a group of 147 patients treated with /sup 131/I in doses of 3.0 millicuries or less for Graves' disease, the incidence of hypothyroidism was calculated 10 to 17 years after treatment. This paper emphasizes the frequency of hypothyroidism after treatment with /sup 131/I in small doses, if sufficient time lapse is considered.
