Hypothyroidism was diagnosed in a 62-year-old woman with poorly controlled primary open-angle glaucoma, including a disc hemorrhage and a documented arcuate scotoma. After 1 year of thyroxine therapy the glaucoma was easily controlled, pilocarpine treatment was stopped and the visual fields were completely normal. To our knowledge this is the first report in the modern literature of reversal of open-angle glaucoma with treatment of hypothyroidism.
一名62岁女性被诊断为甲状腺功能减退，同时患有控制不佳的原发性开角型青光眼，包括视盘出血和记录在案的弓形暗点。经过1年的甲状腺素治疗，青光眼得到了轻松控制，毛果芸香碱治疗停止，视野完全正常。据我们所知，这是现代文献中关于通过治疗甲状腺功能减退使开角型青光眼逆转的首例报告。
