Myxoedema followed by TSAb-induced hyperthyroidism: report of 2 cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of spontaneous hyperthyroidism following primary hypothyroidism is an unusual occurrence. We report two cases of confirmed primary hypothyroidism who subsequently became hyperthyroid. Thyroid stimulating antibodies were present in the sera of both patients during the hyperthyroid state. The significance of this sequence of events is discussed and a possible explanation proposed.

Changes of TSH-Stimulation Blocking Antibody (TSBAb) and Thyroid Stimulating Antibody (TSAb) Over 10 Years in 34 TSBAb-Positive Patients with Hypothyroidism and in 98 TSAb-Positive Graves' Patients with Hyperthyroidism: Reevaluation of TSBAb and TSAb in TSH-Receptor-Antibody (TRAb)-Positive Patients
TWO TRABS: TSBAb and TSAb. TSBAb causes hypothyroidism. TSAb causes Graves' hyperthyroidism. TSBAb and TSAb block TSH-binding to cells as TRAb, measured as TSH-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII). We reevaluate TSBAb and TSAb. We studied TSBAb, TSAb, and TBII over 10 years in 34 TSBAb-positives with hypothyroidism and in 98 TSAb-positives with hyperthyroidism. Half of the 34 TSBAb-positive...
متن کاملAn infant case of Graves' disease with ophthalmopathy.
Graves' disease is a rare disorder in children, particularly in infants. Ocular manifestations of Graves' disease in children are even more rare and are mild compared to adults. We report a 3-year-old girl with Graves' ophthalmopathy who visited our clinic because of lacrimation. Her family had also noticed exophthalmos, goiter, irritability and increased appetite for more than 3 months. The op...
متن کاملHyperthyroidism with periodic paralysis, acropachy, pre-tibial myxoedema, transient atrial fibrillation and myopathy.
Periodic paralysis, idiopathic atrial fibrillation, acropachy, manic depressive illness, skeletal manifestations, pernicious anaemia and pre-tibial myxoedema have all been separately reported in association with thyrotoxicosis. It is very unusual to encounter a patient with many of the complications. In Singapore thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is relatively common (6.0% of all thyrotoxics) while...
متن کاملPathogenetic Role of Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody in the Development of Hyperthyroidism Following Primary Hypothyroidism*
The authors measured thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII), thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb), and thyroid stimulation blocking antibody (TSBAb) sequentially in patients who developed hyperthyroidism following primary hypothyroidism, and compared changes in these various functional parameters of thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) with clinical manifestations, in order to inve...
متن کاملThyroid-stimulating antibody in a patient with euthyroid Graves' disease.
We report an 11-year-old girl with euthyroid Graves' disease. She was referred to our clinic because of left exophthalmos without other symptoms suggestive of hyperthyroidism. Her serum concentration of free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) were normal, but thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was below normal and impaired TSH response to TSH releasing hormone (TRH) was found. Altho...
