SUN-LB76 Euthyroid Ophthalmopathy in Coexistence With Differential Thyroid Carcinoma

Thyroid antibody-negative euthyroid Graves’ ophthalmopathy

UNLABELLED TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs) are the pathological hallmark of Graves' disease, present in nearly all patients with the disease. Euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy (EGO) is a well-recognized clinical entity, but its occurrence in patients with negative TRAbs is a potential source of diagnostic confusion. A 66-year-old female presented to our endocrinology clinic with right eye pain a...

Ocular myasthenia gravis associated with euthyroid ophthalmopathy.

We report a 71-year-old woman with concomitant ocular myasthenia gravis and euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy. Unilateral ophthalmoplegia, including ptosis, initially was responsive to edrophonium and corticosteroids, except for diplopia on upward gaze, but refractory swelling of the inferior rectus muscle and proptosis followed. Autoantibodies to acetylcholine and thyrotropin receptors were det...

Value of thyroid stimulating antibody in the diagnosis of thyroid associated ophthalmopathy of euthyroid patients.

AIMS/BACKGROUND Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) of euthyroid patients is difficult to diagnose because clinical findings overlap with other conditions, and no confirmatory diagnostic tests are available. Recently, it was reported that TSH binding inhibitor immunoglobulin (TBII) and thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb) are sensitive markers of TAO. The sensitivity of these antibodies in t...

Euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy in a child.

A Rare Presentation of Euthyroid Orbitopathy in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Ophthalmopathy is one of the known presenting features of Grave’s disease. Its due to development of antithyroid receptor antibodies. Rarely it may be associated with thyroid malignancies developing in the Grave’s nodule. There are few case reports of patients with coexisting thyroid associated orbitopathy (TAO) and thyroid carcinoma. Sometimes it may be the presenting symptom of an occult thyr...
