MACIQUES RODRIGUEZ, Juana Elvira; PEREZ MUNOZ, María Emoé; REDONDO PINO, Laura Rosa  y  ESPINOSA REYES, Tania. Thyroid-associated orbinopathy at pediatric ages. Rev Cubana Endocrinol [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.2. ISSN 1561-2953.

ABSTRACT Graves´ disease is rare in children and adolescents, and although it develops with a fairly abundant clinic, this diagnosis is not always taken into account and in many occasions, the patients are referred to the endocrinology service from the psychology and /or psychiatry service because of predominant behavioral alterations (hyperkinesia, irritability). This eye disease may appear, either associated or not, to the conditions of hyperthyroidism, and it occurs many times in the euthyroid patient, so it is presently called thyroid-associated orbinopathy. It is an autoimmune, autolimited disease affecting the connective tissue and its progression is less severe than in the adult. The treatment is very particularized at pediatric ages because the therapeutic modalities as such do not meet all the required effectiveness and safety criteria. Taking into account the degree and the severity of orbinopathy, the respective care protocols are set. Generally speaking, it is worthwhile to point out that at these ages; there are moderate or slight forms of disease. There are also three lines of treatment: medication with synthesis anti-thyroid; the radioiodine therapy alone or in combination with steroidal therapy; and the surgical excision of the thyroid gland. It is very uncommon that a child undergoes orbital surgery. The objective of this review was to reorganize updated information about this topic

Palabras clave : Graves´disease; thyroid orbinopathy; exofthalmus.
