要約 目的:内科的に未治療のBasedow患者での,眼所見の頻度とこれに関係する因子の報告。対象と方法:Basedow病と診断され,内科治療を開始する前に紹介された171例を対象とした。男性26例,女性145例で,年齢は14~74歳,平均38歳である。Euthyroid Graves diseasesであるか,または3か月以上前から眼症状がある症例は除外した。甲状腺刺激ホルモン(TSH),TSH結合阻止抗体(TBⅡ),甲状腺刺激抗体(TSAb),抗サイログロブリン抗体(TgAb),抗ペルオキシダーゼ抗体(TPOAb)を測定した。全例で磁気共鳴画像(MRI)により4直筋の断面積とT2SIRを計測した。結果:眼症状の自覚は78%にあった。検査の陽性率は,TBⅡは98.2%,TSAbは86.5%,TgAbは53.2%,TPOAbは66.7%であった。眼球突出度は,TSAbの値と低年齢に関連していた。4直筋の断面積の総和は,TSAb値,喫煙歴,高年齢,男性であることと関連していた。T2SIR値の総和には,高年齢とTSAbが関連していた。結論:未治療のBasedow病患者では,Basedow病と診断された時期に,眼症がすでに発症している可能性が高い。MRIによる早期発見と,甲状腺刺激抗体の値が有用な指標になる。
Abstract. Purpose:To report the incidence of ocular manifestations and related factors in patients of Graves disease before treatment. Cases and Method:This study was made on 171 patients who were referred to us under diagnosis of Graves' disease. The series comprised 26 males and 145 females. The age ranged from 14 to 74 years, average 38 years. Cases were eliminated who were diagnosed with euthyroid Graves disease or who had had ocular symptoms for 3 months or longer. They were examined regarding thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), TSH binding inhibitor immunoglobulin(TBⅡ), thyroid stimulating antibody(TSAb), thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb). They also received magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)regarding the cross area of extraocular muscles and T2 signal intensity ratio(T2SIR). Results:Eye symptoms were present in 78% of cases. The positive rate was 98.2% for TBⅡ, 86.5% for TSAb, 53.2% for TgAb, and 66.7% for TPOAb. Proptosis was related with lower age and the value of TSAb. Total value of coronal section of extraocular muscles was related with the level of TSAb, history of smoking, higher age, and male gender. Conclusion:Ophthalmopathy may already be present at a high rate in patients of Graves disease before treatment. Its detection may be facilitated by MRI and fluctuation of TSAb.
