Problem. Clinical features of Graves' hyperthyroidism (GH) generally improve during pregnancy and rebound in the postpartum period. It is unclear whether the ophthalmopathy that is associated with GH and, less often, Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) changes in parallel with the thyroid associated antibody reactions and clinical features or runs a different course. Method of Study. We retrospectivel...
BACKGROUND Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, a condition commonly associated with Graves' disease, remains inadequately treated. Current medical therapies, which primarily consist of glucocorticoids, have limited efficacy and present safety concerns. Inhibition of the insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) is a new therapeutic strategy to attenuate the underlying autoimmune pathogenesi...
The clinical manifestations of carotid cavernous fistula, an abnormal arteriovenous connection between the cavernous sinus and the carotid artery, can closely mimic the cardinal signs of Graves' ophthalmopathy, an inflammatory disorder of the orbit usually associated with autoimmune thyroid disease. Therefore, carotid cavernous fistulas are generally considered in the differential diagnosis of ...
The aetiology of ophthalmopathy associated with thyroid disease is unknown. Excessive secretion of pituitary thyrotropin (TSH) had been suggested as a cause of exophthalmos (thyrotropic) (Falconer and Alexander, 195I). However, assays for thyrotropic hormone in patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy failed to reveal an elevation of TSH in the blood either before or during the development of acu...
We investigated the lymphocyte characteristics of 77 Graves' disease patients with and without infiltrative ophthalmopathy. Thirteen patients with infiltrative ophthalmopathy without prior antithyroid therapy and 20 euthyroid patients with progressive ophthalmopathy demonstrated decreased percentages of active and total erythrocyte rosette-forming lymphocytes compared to thyrotoxic patients wit...
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy is an autoimmune disorder affecting the orbital and periorbital tissues. Hyperthyroidism is commonly associated with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy, however in 5% to 10% of cases it is euthyroid. Genetic, environmental and endogenous factors play a role in the initiation of the thyroid ophthalmopathy. Smoking has been identified as the strongest risk factor ...
Objective: Antibodies to eye muscle tissue are demonstrated in hyperthyroid Graves’ disease but their pathognomonic roles have not been clarified yet. We suggest that type 2 deiodinase (DIO2) enzyme can be a target between orbital and thyroid diseases in hyperthyroid Graves’ ophthalmopathy. In this study, the relationship between anti-eye muscle membrane (EyeM) and cytosol (EyeC) IgG, IgA and I...
Abstract Purpose of Review To provide the radiologist with tools to recognize findings atypical for Graves’ ophthalmopathy and differentiate between most important common alternative causes extraocular muscle enlargement on CT MR imaging. Recent We introduce five ‘red flags’ representing features that are ophthalmopathy: unilateral disease, pattern involvement, adjacent structure restricted dif...
About 25-50% of Graves' disease (GD) patients develop thyroid eye diseases, which is associated with inflammatory process and abnormalities in the levels of several cytokines in orbital tissues in GD. The aim of this study was to determine the Th1 and Th2 serum cytokines in patients with GD with or without ophthalmopathy. Serum levels of cytokines and autoantibodies including Interferon-gamma (...
