In order to investigate the influence of near total thyroidectomy on the course of endocrine ophthalmopathy (E.O.) in patients with Graves' disease, 29 patients with goitre and E.O. were classified before and after (up to 18 months) operation by use of a special ophthalmopathy index. 14 patients without goitre served as controls; they get only antithyroid drug treatment (ADT) (E.O. I and II, n = 7) or additional retoorbital irradiation (E.O. III and IV, n = 7, linear accelerator, 20 Gray). 20 out of 29 operated patients showed an improvement in the E.O., 4 a deterioration, 5 were unchanged. 3 out of 7 not operated patients with mild E.O. showed an amelioration during ADT, 4 no change. Additional radiotherapy in 7 patients with severe E.O. caused an improvement in the clinical condition of 3 patients, 3 patients deteriorated and 1 patient showed no change. It is concluded that adequate near total thyroidectomy has a positive effect on the clinical course of E.O. in patients with Graves' disease and E.O.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008713 Methimazole A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin. This is done by interfering with the oxidation of iodide ion and iodotyrosyl groups through inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
