Oftalmopatia tireoidea revisitada

Abstract: A oftalmopatia tireoidea é doença orbitária autoimune intimamente associada com o hipertireoidismo, porém podendo existir separadamente. Pode preceder, coincidir ou suceder o início da disfunção tireoidea, raramente ocorrendo em eutireoideos ou hipotireoideos. Os músculos extraoculares são os principais alvos acometidos e tornam-se aumentados de volume, determinando oftalmoplegia e proptose. Outros sinais importantes incluem retração palpebral, hiperemia conjuntival e edema periorbitário. Perda visual pode oco… Show more

“…Graves' ophthalmopathy -also known as Graves' orbitopathy (GO) or thyroid associated ophthalmopathy -is the most common cause of unilateral or bilateral proptosis in adults and may result in severe complications such as: widening of the palpebral fissure and exposure keratopathy, corneal ulceration, optic nerve compression and blindness, extraocular motility abnormalities, diplopia, strabismus and others [3,4,10,27,29,31,39,[43][44][45]. Thyroid ophthalmopathy is the most frequent cause of orbital disease in the adult population, responsible for 15% to 28% of cases of unilateral and 80% of cases of bilateral exophthalmia [8,15,29].…”

“…Thyroid ophthalmopathy is the most frequent cause of orbital disease in the adult population, responsible for 15% to 28% of cases of unilateral and 80% of cases of bilateral exophthalmia [8,15,29]. Optic neuropathy is an uncommon manifestation which occurs with rate of incidence ranging from 2% to 8.6% of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy but causes severe complications [7,38,47].…”

“…A ecografia ocular pode ser fácil e rapidamente realizada, e por este, motivo não podemos desvalorizar sua indicação (24) . Com a ressonância nuclear magnética, ainda não acessível a todos os pacientes em nosso meio, podería-mos estudar inclusive o conteúdo líquido dos tecidos, que reflete edema, e deste modo, a atividade inflamatória da enfermidade orbitária (25) .…”

“…Barret et al descreveram um método bastante reprodutível para correlacionar o grau de espessamento da musculatura extrínseca e a possibilidade de se desenvolver neuropatia óptica. Segundo os autores a porcentagem do volume orbitário ocupado pelos músculos retos horizontais e verticais no ponto médio da órbita maior ou igual a 67% é dado praticamente diagnóstico para neuropatia óptica nesta patologia (24) . Assim como o índice de Barret se mostra bastante expressivo nos casos de neuropatia na oftalmopatia de Graves, o achado de espessamento dos tendões parece ser fortemente indicativo de estrabismo nesta patologia (24) .…”
