The Eye and the Thyroid Gland
Historical Background
For more than 150 years, conditions known as Graves Disease and chronic autoimmune thyroditits have been associated eye problems (ophthalmopathy). In 1825, Caleb Parry described a condition of goitre and eye protrusion. In 1835, Robert Graves wrote about cases of thyroid disease and proptosis (protrusion) of the eye, and this form of hyper-thyroidism was named after him. In 1840, Carl von Basedow noted swelling of tissues around the eye in patients with hyperthyroidism. Although considerable research is being done, it is not yet known why the eye is involved in thyroid conditions.
Pathogenesis (cause)
Some ophthalmologists think eye changes result from either an autoimmune abnormality or a regulatory cell disorder that allows some antibodies to attack the ocular muscles, which leads to inflammation and other signs of discomfort.
Grave's ophthalmopathy focuses on the muscles around the eye, which help position the eye within the bony orbit or cavity where it rests on a bed of fat. This fat and the tear gland can also be affected in Grave's Disease although to a lesser degree. More often, apical enlargement of the eye muscles stimulates other fibroblasts. Fluid is drawn into the muscle and stored, eventually leading to the development of scar tissue. In addition, the swelling of the muscles pushes the eye forward causing it to protrude. As a result patients may have trouble closing their eyes, which causes drying, irritation and increased inflammation. Increased effort to bring the eyelids together may result in a frown, or swollen muscles may compress the optic nerve leading to loss of vision if treatment is not sought early on.

What is an Ultrasound of the Thyroid?
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images of internal organs by sending high-frequency sound waves into the body. The reflected sound waves produce echoes that are displayed and recorded as a real-time, visual image. No ionizing radiation (x-ray) is involved in ultrasound imaging. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show movement of internal tissues and organs, and enable physicians to see blood flow. As a result, ultrasound can help to diagnose a variety of conditions and to assess organ damage following illness. Ultrasound imaging can help a physician determine the source of pain, swelling, or infection in many parts of the body. Ultrasound is a painless, useful way of examining many of the body's internal organs, including the thyroid.

Thousands of thyroid operations performed with almost 30 years of thyroid surgery experience. The oral cavity is a very specific place, well defined and broken down into various sites. The reason for this is that the treatment and prognosis for each site can vary tremendously, depending on the size and extent of the tumor. For the purposes of this discussion, I will actually include some sites that are, strictly speaking, not actually part of the oral cavity, such as the tonsil, soft palate, and base of tongue. These are actually parts of what is called the oropharynx, or upper throat. I do this because most people would think that any tumor you can see with the mouth open is in the mouth. As simple an explanation as that is, it is not exactly correct from a scientific point of view.
There are a number of different cancers that can be found in the oral cavity. The most common is one called

The thyroid gland makes a hormone (called thyroid hormone), which is important for many body functions. The production of this hormone depends on iodine, and the thyroid gland absorbs iodine from the blood. Thyroid hormone regulates a person’s metabolism. Too much hormone causes a person to be hyperactive, feel nervous, warm, hungry, and often lose weight. Too little hormone causes a person to slow down, feel tired and gain weight. All this is regulated by the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain, which produces a substance called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) The thyroid gland contains mainly 2 types of cells:
  • Thyroid follicle cells actually make and store thyroid hormone. They also make a special thyroid protein called thyroglobulin.
  • C cells make another hormone

Introduction
Not all people with thyroid disease have problems with their eyes. It is a common enough problem, however, that many people have expressed a desire to have more information about how their thyroid condition is related to their eye problems and what can be done about it.
The eye changes associated with thyroid disease are referred to as Thyroid Related Orbitopathy (TRO). Although TRO is seen in all types of thyroid disorders, it is most common in patients that are or were hyperthyroid. TRO occurs in about 1 out of 20 people that are hyperthyroid. It can also rarely occur in those who are hypothyroid and even when there is an absence of thyroid abnormalities in the body. Thyroid disease can cause many different eye problems. These include redness and swelling, double vision, decreased vision, eyelid retraction and a protrusion of the eye itself. It is important to realize that if one of these occurs, that it does not mean others will occur. Eye problems will usually occur and frequently change in type or severity for between 6 months and 2 years. Once stabilized, it is unusual for the eyes to start changing again. In some patients the eyes return to normal. Others are left with some type of permanent changes. A great deal can be done to improve these problems, but this may require surgery.

UCLA Endocrinology Home Up Contents Forms Thyroid Mark Goodarzi, M.D. T HE T HYROID – P HYSIOLOGY AND P ATHOLOGY I. Thyroid physiology Thyroid gland produces all of body’s T4 (about 80-90 mcg/d), but only 20% of body’s T3 (~8 mcg). 80% of T3 is produced by peripheral deiodination of outer ring of T4 (by type I 5’-deiodinase, mainly in liver and kidney, little in heart). Total production of T3 is about 32-35 mcg/day. Thyroglobulin (TG) is a glycoprotein involved in storage and synthesis of thyroid hormones. Most of it resides in the lumen of the follicles, which are lined by a single layer of cuboidal follicular epithelium. It is taken into follicular cells by endocytosis for use in thyroid synthesis. Parafollicular (C) cells, which secrete calcitonin, do not border on the follicular lumen. Iodide (I ) is trapped by thyroid cells (the rate-limiting step), iodide is then organified (oxidized to I , hypoiodous acid (HOI) or enzyme-bound hypoiodite ([EOI] ) and then bound to tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin), which forms mono-iodotyrosine (MIT) and di-iodotyrosine (DIT). When two DIT molecules fuse, thyroxine (T4, L-3,5,3’,5’-tetraiodothyronine) is formed; when MIT and DIT are coupled, triiodothyronine (T3, L-3,3’,5-triiodothyronine) is formed. Thyroid peroxidase, which is located on the apical side of the follicular epithelium, catalyzes organification and coupling. The newly formed hormones remain part of thyroglobulin. The ratio of T4 to T3 in thyroglobulin is 13:1. Thyroid hormone-TG complex is absorbed into vesicles. Thyroid hormones are released from TG by proteolysis.

Please feel free to visit our Home Page or check out other eye conditions on our Eye Conditions page GRAVES EYE DISEASE OR Infiltrative Thyroid Ophthalmopathy Janet's page Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces a greater than normal amount of hormone. It occurs in a number of diseases, including Graves' disease, toxic goitre, thyroiditis and ingestion of excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. Excessive levels of thyroid hormones give rise to weight loss, rapid hart, tremor, sweating and changes in the nails, skin and hair. Subjectively, a person will notice nervousness, heat intolerance and hart palpitations. Prominent eyes or Proptosis Inability to close eyes Graves' disease is a term used to describe the commonest variety of hyperthyroidism, which is regarded as having an autoimmune basis. Autoimmune disease may be understood as a process by which the body sees some part of itself as being foreign and reacts to it much the same way that it would with any bacteria or virus. In the case of Graves' disease, the body sees the thyroid gland as the foreign object and produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. This will often (but not in all cases) cause the thyroid gland to become over active. Graves' eye disease is currently believed to be due to a similar autoimmune reaction. However, in the case of

Graves' eye disease is an eye condition which occurs in about 50% of patients who currently have, or have had, Graves' hyperthyroidism. However, approximately 10% of patients who have this eye disorder never develop hyperthyroidism. The reasons for the association of hyperthyroidism with the eye disease are not completely understood. Graves' eye disease, like Graves' hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder. It is caused by the reaction of antibodies and certain white blood cells called lymphocytes, with proteins in eye muscle and the connective tissue and fat around the eyeball. This condition must be distinguished from the mild eye signs of "poppy" eyes and spasm of the eye lids which occur in most hyperthyroid patients due to an effect of excessive thyroid hormones. Top
Clinical Features
The characteristic features of Graves' eye disease are symptoms of inflammation of the eye tissues. The eyes are painful, red and watery - particularly in sunshine or wind. The covering of the eye is inflamed and swollen.

  • Overview . A severe life-threatening form of hyperthyroidism.
  • Cause . Increasing stress such as trauma or illness may cause this in a previously mildly hyperthyroid patient.
  • Clinically . Have signs and symptoms consistent with thyrotoxicosis (tachycardia, heat intolerance, weight loss), as well as fever, confusion, agitation, weakness, dyspnea, diarrhea, and shock.
  • Treatment
  • When suspected, treatment should be instituted immediately. If defervescence of fever does not occur within several hours, concurrent infection should be suspected. Other signs of hyperthyroidism may require several days of therapy before improvement is seen. Treatment is propranolol 20 to 40 mg Q4h to control tachycardia, tremor, etc. (can give 0.5 to 1.0 mg IV Q5min to keep pulse about 100; may need greater than 15 mg IV). Give propylthiouracil 250 mg PO or per NG Q6h (alternative is methimazole 20 to 40 mg PO or per NG Q6-8h) and SSKI 30 gtt PO 1 hour after giving PTU to avoid iodine being used for additional thyroid hormone synthesis. Continue with 5 to 10 gtt QID. Alternative is 0.5 g of sodium iodide in 1 L of NS over 12 hours. Fluid and electrolytes should be replaced and fever controlled with acetaminophen and a cooling blanket.

Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Bibliography Overview Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is a condition that primarily affects the extraocular muscles, the muscles that rotate the eyeball up, down, and to the sides. It is closely associated with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid to produce excess thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Graves’ ophthalmopathy is also known as thyroid eye disease or thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. In GO, an unknown antigen (substance that triggers an immune response) activates lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), which infiltrate extraocular muscle tissue and other orbital tissues, producing inflammation and causing the tissues to swell. The swollen eye muscles force the eyeball to bulge out of the bony orbit (i.e., eye socket). GO and Graves’ disease are two separate conditions that run independent courses. GO may occur long before, at the same time as, or long after thyroid disease is diagnosed and treated. Although most patients with Graves’ disease have Graves’ ophthalmopathy, about 10% of patients with GO have normal thyroid function.
