Abstract

Thyrotoxicosis is one of the rare disorders diagnosed in childhood and adolescence. The most frequent cause is Graves disease. One of the Graves’ disease complications is thyroid-associated orbitopathy. A 2-year-old girl was referred to our hospital for decreased weight gain. Her physical examination was normal except for a palpable thyroid tissue and exophtalmia. After laboratory examination, she was referred to the departments of nuclear medicine and radiology for the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and Graves ophthalmia. When evaluated with the physical examination, laboratory and imaging results the patient was diagnosed as Graves’ disease with orbital involvement. So the patient was taken on methimazole treatment.

Özet

Tirotoksikoz çocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde nadir karşılaşılan ve en sık nedenini Graves hastalığının oluşturduğu bir endokrin bozukluktur. Klinik olarak hipertiroidizm, tiroid bezinde boyut artışı ve oftalmi Graves hastalığının karakteristik özellikleridir. Oftalmi, otoimmün inflamatuvar bir sürecin sonucudur ve çocukluk çağında sık karşılaşılmayan bir komplikasyondur. İki yaşındaki kız hasta hastanemize kilo alımında yavaşlama nedeniyle başvurdu. Fizik muayenesi palpabl tiroid dokusu ve ekzoftalmus bulguları dışında normal olarak değerlendirildi. Laboratuvar testlerinden sonra hastanın nükleer tıp ve radyoloji bölümlerinde hipertiroidi ve ekzoftalmi yönünden tetkikleri yapıldı. Fizik muayene bulguları, laboratuvar ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, orbital tutulumlu Graves hastalığı düşünülerek metimazol tedavisi başlandı. (MIRT 2011;20:111-113)
