Description
Estimations regarding the simultaneous occurrence of Graves' ophthalmopathy and autonomously functioning thyroid nodules expect frequencies of 0,05-0,2%. Contrary to these estimated numbers, only 3 patients with these simultaneous manifestations were identified in an out patient thyroid clinic within a period of 10 years. The possible protection by the autonomous thyroid nodules against the manifestation of Graves' disease is discussed. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Das gemeinsame Auftreten einer endokrinen Orbitopathie und einer zweifelsfreien Schilddruesenautonomie koennte mit einer Haeufigkeit von 0,05-0,2% erwartet werden. Entgegen diesen erwarteten Zahlen konnten, innerhalb eines Zeitraumes von 10 Jahren, in der Schilddruesenspezialambulanz nur 3 Patienten mit diesen Gemeinsamkeiten identifiziert werden. Der moegliche, jedoch offensichtlich nicht vollkommene Schutz vor einer Manifestation einer Immunhyperthyreose durch eine funktionell relevante Autonomie wird diskutiert. (orig.)Additional details
