Graves' disease is an autoimmune-based hyperthyroidism in which a number of different antibodies directed against thyroid tissue plays a role. Graves' ophthalmopathy is thought to be a consequence of this autoimmune basis and occurs in some patients with Graves' disease. On occasional cases, the disease may present only with ophthalmopathy without hyperthyroidism. A 32-year-old woman with euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy and negative thyroid autoantibodies, including TSH receptor antibody, is presented here.
格雷夫斯病是一种基于自身免疫的甲状腺功能亢进症,其中多种针对甲状腺组织的不同抗体发挥作用。格雷夫斯眼病被认为是这种自身免疫基础的结果,发生在一些格雷夫斯病患者身上。在少数情况下,该病可能仅表现为眼病而无甲状腺功能亢进。本文介绍了一名32岁患有甲状腺功能正常的格雷夫斯眼病且甲状腺自身抗体(包括促甲状腺激素受体抗体)阴性的女性。
