OBJECTIVE Risk factors for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) are poorly understood, but serum TSH levels, thyroid nodularity, and presence of autoimmunity are well-recognized factors that modulate DTC prevalence. TSH stimulates proliferation of both normal and neoplastic follicular cells. Consequently, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), because of its TSH-like action, should induce...
متن کاملOcular myasthenia with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy in subclinical Graves’ disease
Ocular myasthenia in Graves’ disease is very rare with less than 10 cases reported. We present a clinically euthyroid lady with features of thyroid associated opthalmopathy (TAO) who had mild ptosis, external opthalmoplegia, firm goiter and subclinical hyperthyroidism. Hertel exopthalmometry confirmed exopthalmos. CT orbit revealed thickening of bilateral inferior, medial and superior recti. An...
