Rosiglitazone-Induced Proptosis
Comment. Ocular neuromyotonia affects the extraocular muscles either individually or in combination, causing episodic diplopia that develops either spontaneously or after gaze in the direction of action of the affected muscle. Electromyography suggests a neurogenic basis for the movements. The tonic contractions are thought to result from the spontaneous discharge of unstable neurons, which are...
متن کاملMarrow suppression with myelodysplastic features, hypoerythropoetinemia, and lipotrophic proptosis due to rosiglitazone.
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are frequently used pharmacotherapeutics for type II diabetes mellitus, which exert their effect through peroxisomal proliferator agonist receptor (PPAR) mediated increased insulin sensitivity. TZDs are known to cause marrow suppression and to stimulate adipogenesis. Case and cohort studies show TZDs worsen thyroid-associated orbitopathy. We present a case consistent w...
متن کاملRosiglitazone attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial remodeling.
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are insulin-sensitizing agents that also decrease systemic blood pressure, attenuate the formation of atherosclerotic lesions, and block remodeling of injured arterial walls. Recently, TZDs were shown to prevent pulmonary arterial (PA) remodeling in rats treated with monocrotaline. Presently we report studies testing the ability of the TZD rosiglitazone (ROSI) to atten...
متن کاملUnilateral proptosis.
Twenty-seven children with unilateral proptosis were investigated over a period of 8 1/2 years. Seventeen (63%) of them had local or disseminated malignancy, a higher proportion than in earlier reports. The frequency of inflammatory lesions, particularly ethmoiditis progressing to proptosis, appeared to have decreased, probably because of the liberal use of antibiotics for upper respiratory tra...

DR. XIAO CHI ZHANG: A 92-year-old woman with dementia was brought to the emergency department (ED) from a nursing home for headache and “left eye bulge” after falling backward, striking her head on the ground. While the review of systems was limited due to the patient’s baseline dementia, she only reported occipital headache, left knee pain and denied any eye pain, changes in her vision and sta...
