Explanation:

Myxedema is a term generally used to denote severe hypothyroidism. Myxedema is also used to describe the dermatologic changes that occur in hypothyroidism and occasionally hyperthyroidism. In this setting, myxedema refers to deposition of mucopolysaccharides in the dermis, which results in swelling of the affected area. When skin changes occur in hyperthyroidism, mostly Graves disease, it is called pretibial myxedema.

When skin changes occur in hyperthyroidism, mostly Graves disease, it is called pretibial myxedema.Myxedema coma, occasionally called myxedema crisis, is a rare, life-threatening clinical condition that represents severe hypothyroidism with physiologic decompensation.The condition usually occurs in patients with long-standing, undiagnosed hypothyroidism and is most often precipitated by infection, cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, trauma, or drug therapy. Patients with myxedema coma are generally severely ill, with significant hypothermia and depressed mental status.
