U vàng (Xanthomas/Xanthelasma)

Mô tả: Angioid streaks appear as irregular, jagged, tapering lines that radiate from the peri-papillary võng mạc into the macula and peripheral fundus.12 Testicles of smaller than bình thường size. The mean volume of the adult testis is said to be 18.6 ± 4.8 mL.2 Testicles are thường measured by using an ellipsoid orchidometer – by this method most adult males have a volume >15 mL per testicle.2 With the bệnh nhân supine, one hand is placed hơn the flank, and the other on the anterior aspect of the costophrenic angle. The hand underneath ‘ballots’ (from the French ‘to toss’) the thận upwards. The thận is ballotable if felt by the anterior hand trong this manoeuvre. This đề cập đến bruising gây ra bởi minimal trauma (i.e., an insult that would not normally dẫn đến a bruise). Tapping on the bệnh nhân’s cheek at a point anterior to the ear and just below the zygomatic xương to stimulate the facial dây thần kinh and dẫn đến twitching of the ipsilateral facial cơ. It is suggestive of latent tetany and increased thần kinh cơ excitability. Central adiposity tiến triển central obesity thường involving the face, neck, chest and bụng. Internal cấu trúc and cơ quan are also affected. Moon facies An erythematous, rounded facial appearance as a result of fat deposition in the bitemporal regions. Buffalo hump Fat deposition between the scapulae and behind the neck. Supraclavicular fat pads also indicate central adiposity. đái tháo đường bệnh thần kinh liên quan đến painful cơ teo, đặc biệt affecting the thighs, legs and buttocks, with reduced reflexes and power in the lower limbs. Marked weight loss is thường gặp. It thường resolves sau 12 or more months. đái tháo đường retinopathy is an umbrella term được sử dụng để describe a number of đặc điểm changes seen in the eye in the setting of đái tháo đường. Some of the terms and causes overlap with hypertensive retinopathy and have thường gặp final con đường. Xem ‘Hypertensive retinopathy’ in Chapter 3, ‘Cardiovascular signs’. Broadly speaking, đái tháo đường retinopathy có thể broken down into the thể shown in Bảng 7.1. An unusual prominence of the trán. Lactation that occurs in the absence of breastfeeding in females. It is luôn bệnh lý in males. An enlargement of the tuyến giáp gland causing a swelling in the front of the neck,37 which is thường both visible and palpable on thăm khám. Characterised by a ring of small, firm flesh-coloured or red papules, thường found on the dorsal surfaces of hands and feet.44 They có thể develop a rolled border with central clearing. có thể là localised or disseminated across the body, subcutaneous or perforating (reaching deeper into subcutaneous mô). Graves’ ophthalmopathy encompasses a number of eye signs and changes thường xuyên seen in Graves’ bệnh. The tiến triển in mức độ nặng of these is classified in Bảng 7.5. and thường the underlying cơ chế contribute to the development of multiple signs. Bảng 7.6 summarises a collection of signs that có thể là seen on physical exam.

Glucocorticoids have been shown to regulate adipose mô differentiation, chức năng and phân bố. They are potent activators of adipose stromal tế bào to become mature adipocytes or fat tế bào. Studies have shown that certain loại of fat, bao gồm omental (but not subcutaneous), are able to convert inactive cortisone to cortisol via an men, 11B-HSD1.21 Exposure to insulin and cortisol further increases the levels of this men, causing even more production of active cortisol. As a consequence, it is thought that mạn tính exposure to glucocorticoids can increase omental adipocyte generation of cortisol, which stimulates more adipocytes into differentiating into mature fat tế bào, causing central adiposity.22 The cause of preferential deposition in the face (moon facies) and posterior neck (buffalo hump) is not clear. • đái tháo đường • đái tháo đường • Hypertensive retinopathy can also display similar changes and macular phù có thể được điều trị with success in most cases to prevent blindness, both screening for and detecting the lâm sàng sign in any setting is essential. Changes liên quan đến đái tháo đường retinopathy are seen in: • almost all bệnh nhân who have had loại 1 đái tháo đường for 20 years • 80% of bệnh nhân who have had loại 2 đái tháo đường for 20 years. sau 10 years, proliferative retinopathy is seen in 50% of bệnh nhân with loại 1 diabetes33 and 10% of bệnh nhân with loại 2 đái tháo đường.32 đái tháo đường retinopathy 518 Other factors Altered mạch máu permeability thiếu máu cục bộ and hypoxia mạn tính tăng đường huyết Sorbitol Age viêm Microthrombosis Growth factors đái tháo đường retinopathy changes Thường gặp • to đầu chi – thường associated but to đầu chi itself is a hiếm gặp hormonal • Fragile X hội chứng – a thường gặp cause of mental retardation in males, liên quan đến a large hộp sọ bao gồm prominent trán • Extramedullary haematopoiesis – xem the mô tả under ‘Chipmunk facies’ in Chapter 4, ‘Haematological oncological signs’ Galactorrhoea 521 Galactorrhoea Dopamine inhibitory on prolactin production Anterior pituitary Lactotrophs Arcuate nucleus Dopamine secreted Portal circulation • Hyperprolactinaemia (xem Bảng 7.3) • vô căn • gan bệnh – hiếm gặp • Hypogonadism • Graves’ bệnh • Hashimoto’s bệnh • Congenital • Adenomatous (tuyến giáp adenoma) • Iodine deficiency • Toxic multinodular • tuyến giáp ung thư biểu mô Thường gặp • nhiễm trùng and immunisations (e.g. herpes zoster; hepatitis B, C) • Trauma • đái tháo đường mellitus (historically, loại 1 DM) Ít gặp • Drugs (e.g. gold liệu pháp, allopurinol, amlodipine) • ác tính (e.g. Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukaemia) • Rheumatoid arthritis • Graves’ bệnh Thường gặp • Polycystic ovary hội chứng (PCOS) – most thường gặp cause • Cushing’s bệnh • vô căn Ít gặp • Congenital adrenal tăng sản • Ovarian tumours • Adrenal tumours • Hyperthecosis – very hiếm gặp

Cơ chế: Angioid streaks được cho là result from small breaks within a brittle or calcified Bruch’s membrane. The specific cơ chế for the abnormality in Bruch’s membrane has not been established. Suggested factors bao gồm: • elastic thoái hóa of the membrane • iron deposition in elastic fibres from haemolysis with thứ phát mineralisation13 • nutritional impairment do sickling, stasis and small vessel occlusion. It is thought that lines of force from intra- and extraocular eye cơ cause the brittle membrane to crack. 70–80% of testicular volume is made up of seminiferous tubules, so any damage or rối loạn chức năng relating to these có thể gây ra teo. bình thường development of the testicles requires adequate máu flow and appropriate amounts of luteinising and follicular hormones. Testicular teo có thể gây ra bởi thiếu máu cục bộ, trauma, lack of hormonal stimulation (as nguyên phát or thứ phát hypogonadism) or a nguyên phát di truyền abnormality. Klinefelter’s hội chứng (47XXY) In Klinefelter’s hội chứng, a di truyền abnormality dẫn đến an extra X nhiễm sắc thể. As part of this hội chứng, as gonadotropins (LH and FSH) rise trong puberty, the seminiferous tubules fibrose and shrink and có thể become obliterated. Hence, the volume of the testicle is reduced. Why this occurs is unclear. Prader–Willi hội chứng A di truyền abnormality on nhiễm sắc thể 15 dẫn đến decreased production of GnRH, which causes low or altered FSHLH levels and less stimulus for the testicles to produce testosterone and sperm. As a result of ‘under-utilisation’, the testicles teo. Anabolic steroid use Exogenous steroids cause suppression of the hypothalamic axis, đặc biệt LH production, and do đó suppression of testosterone production, ultimately leading to teo. Varicocoele Varicocoeles cause testicular rối loạn chức năng and in some cases teo through a number of factors, bao gồm increased scrotal temperature, altered máu flow, increased oxidative stress and decreased testosterone production. Cirrhosis of the gan The damaged gan is unable to break down androgens, which means that there is more androgen available for peripheral conversion to oestrogen. The gan is also unable to break down normally produced available oestrogens. High levels of oestrogen cause reduced testosterone and sperm production and decreased seminiferous tubule size, resulting in testicular teo. Alcohol Alcohol causes teo of the testicle through direct and indirect cơ chế. • Direct: alcohol and some of its breakdown products are toxic to Lleydig tế bào and decrease spermatogenesis. • Indirect: alcohol can suppress hypothalamic and pituitary chức năng. Studies have shown reduced LH levels with alcohol use.15,16 An enlarged thận, from whatever cause (e.g. tumouramyloid infiltration or aberrant cystic expansion), is closer in proximity to the anterior bụng wall and is more likely to come into contact with the wall and thus be felt when pushed upwards. Cushing’s hội chứng Loss of subcutaneous connective mô do the catabolic effects of glucocorticoids exposes underlying mạch that can easily rupture. It is a similar cơ chế to that of striae. Uraemia The cơ chế is complex and unclear. It is thought that uraemic máu alters platelet chức năng, causing ineffective activation, aggregation and attachment to máu vessel endothelium17 rather than thrombocytopenia. Key factors involved in this clotting rối loạn chức năng are shown in Hình 7.5. • Platelet chức năng. Defects in secretion of pro-aggregation factors, an imbalance between platelet agonists and inhibitors, excess parathyroid hormone that inhibits platelet aggregation and decreased thromboxane A2 all contribute to either ineffective activation or aggregation.17 • Vessel wall attachment. Several factors contribute to inefficient vessel wall attachment. Normally, platelets have certain proteins that are responsible for attachment to both other platelets and vessel endothelium – helping clot formation and stopping bleeding. ‘Uraemic’ toxins cause drops in glycoprotein18,19 GP 1b and rối loạn chức năng in other thụ thể (αIIb β3) that are needed for attachment to máu vessel walls and bình thường interaction with vWF Accumulation of uraemic toxins Imbalance of pro- and anti- aggregation Excess PTH Decreased TXA2 tế bào calcium abnormalities Platelet rối loạn chức năng Platelet–vessel wall rối loạn chức năng Bruising GP 1b deficiency rối loạn chức năng of platelet thụ thể Excess anti- aggregation factors NO and PGI2 Anaemia Other factors thận failure All of the tình trạng liên quan đến Chvostek’s sign cause increased neuronal excitability. This increased excitability means that, when the facial dây thần kinh is stimulated (e.g. by tapping it with a finger), it is more likely to fire and stimulate cơ contraction. Hypocalcaemia Calcium is needed to maintain bình thường neuronal membrane permeability; it được cho là do this by acting on and blocking sodium channels on the neuronal membrane.21 When extracellular calcium is low andor not available to block them, the sodium channels are more permeable. More sodium enters the tế bào; the tế bào becomes less polarised and is more easily stimulated to reach action potential. Respiratory alkalosishyperventilation Respiratory alkalosis and hyperventilation dẫn đến a reduction in active ionised calcium – as opposed to total calcium. It is the decrease in ionised calcium that causes increased excitability. Respiratory alkalosis most thường occurs do hyperventilation. When a bệnh nhân hyperventilates, she blows off carbon dioxide. The alteration in CO2 shifts the Henderson–Hasselbach equation in favour of CO2 production in order to replace losses. The end result of this is a drop in circulating H+ ions and, do đó, alkalosis. The amount of calcium that is free and ionised (or unbound to proteins) is heavily dependent on serum pH. When the pH is high (alkalotic), more calcium binds to proteins making less active calcium available in the extracellular fluid for bình thường activities, như blocking sodium channels and maintaining membrane stability. Hypomagnesaemia How hypomagnesaemia causes tetany is not completely understood. tuy nhiên, it is clear that magnesium is essential for maintaining ion channels and transporters in excitable mô. Chvostek’s sign 514 Magnesium influences a number of tế bào processes bao gồm: • Na+ATPase activity – low magnesium decreases Na+ATPase activity • blocking potassium channels on tế bào – low magnesium allows greater loss of potassium from tế bào • low magnesium inhibits parathyroid hormone and can dẫn đến hypocalcaemia – which can contribute to tetany • calcium ion channel activity. The cơ chế is unclear; possibly a form of lumbosacral plexopathy. Previously, thiếu máu cục bộ injury, metabolic derangement and viêm have been suggested as causes.25 Studies have shown viêm infiltrates, immunoglobulin and complement depositions in the small máu mạch,26–29 suggesting an miễn dịch-mediated vasculitis có thể là the cause. đái tháo đường retinopathy 517 The cơ chế behind the changes seen in đái tháo đường retinopathy is very complex and as yet has not been fully explained. mạn tính tăng đường huyết được cho là be the main factor leading to đái tháo đường retinopathy,30 by commencing a series of changes that ultimately dẫn đến two key bệnh lý states: 1 altered mạch máu permeability – disrupted or leaky mạch 2 thiếu máu cục bộ of the võng mạc with associated neovascularisation. These changes are implicated in the vision-threatening forms of macular đái tháo đường retinopathy Bảng 7.1 đái tháo đường retinopathy changes Nonproliferative retinopathy Cotton wool spots thiếu máu cục bộ swelling of the thị giác dây thần kinh layer causes a white, round or patchy appearance Dot and blot haemorrhages Larger red dots with distinct (dot) or indistinct (blot) borders Hard exudates Lipids deposited within the võng mạc create white or yellowish deposits with a waxy appearance Microaneurysms Distinct round red dots Proliferative retinopathy Neovascularisation arising from the thị giác disc or mạch Macular phù Thickening and phù involving the macula (có thể occur at any giai đoạn of proliferative or non-proliferative đái tháo đường retinopathy) phù and proliferative đái tháo đường retinopathy. Of course, there are many additional bệnh lý processes that also contribute to the development of these two states.

Prolactin normally stimulates breast and milk gland development as well as (with oxytocin) stimulating lactation in the post-partum thời kỳ. Oestrogen and progesterone are also needed for breast development. Normally, prolactin (unlike other pituitary hormones) is tonically inhibited by dopamine, which is persistently secreted by the arcuate nucleus and travels down Bảng 7.3 nguyên nhân của hyperprolactinaemia sinh lý Pharmacological bệnh lý M O R E C O M M O N Exercise Dopamine antagonists • atypical and typical antipsychotics • metaclopramide Prolactin-secreting adenoma Pregnancy H2 antagonists (e.g. cimetidine) Pituitary stalk compression Puerperium Methyldopa Chest wall stimulation Sleep Oestrogens suy giáp Nipple stimulation Phenothiazines L E S S C O M M O N Seizures Opiates to đầu chi Newborns SSRIs hạ đường huyết Verapamil thận failure Tricyclic antidepressants Multiple sclerosis MAOIs tủy sống lesions Oral contraceptive pill Galactorrhoea 522 the pituitary stalk (on the tuberoinfundibular axis) and stops tế bào in the anterior pituitary (lactotrophs) from producing prolactin (xem Hình 7.13). do đó, hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea có thể là gây ra bởi: 1 excess prolactin secretion 2 disruption of the bình thường inhibitory process of dopamine 3 failed excretion of prolactin. Note: Having hyperprolactinaemia does not necessarily mean galactorrhoea will follow. Selected drug cơ chế The predominant effect of thường used antipsychotics (e.g. olan­zapine, risperidone) and anti-nausea thuốc (metaclopramide) is do blocking of dopamine. This có thể gây ra the inhibitory of effect of dopamine on prolactin to be reduced, thereby producing hyperprolactinaemia. Methyldopa depletes dopamine stores and competitively inhibits L-dopa conversion to dopamine, thereby reducing dopamine and do đó inhibition of prolactin. Verapamil has a side effect of directly stimulating lactotrophs,34 thus producing more prolactin. SSRIs increase the level of serotonin available, which has a stimulating effect on prolactin secretion. Prolactinomas Prolactinomas are a loại of pituitary adenoma, which is a tân sản growth of pituitary lactotroph mô. Prolactinomas secrete prolactin in large quantities and are not effectively inhibited by bình thường levels of dopamine. Pituitary stalk compression Stalk compression by any cause (e.g. craniopharyngioma, trauma, pituitary adenoma) disrupts or destroys the bình thường tuberoinfundibular con đường that allows dopamine to travel from the arcuate nucleus, via the portal circulation, to the lactotrophs to inhibit prolactin secretion. Hyperprolactinaemia results. suy giáp In suy giáp thyrotrophin- releasing hormone (TRH) is elevated in a compensatory response to low thyroxine. TRH is a potent prolactin- releasing factor. Chest wall stimulation Chest wall stimulation do any cause (e.g. breast phẫu thuật, mechanical trauma, herpes zoster) can produce a neurogenic reflex to stimulate the production of prolactin2 via the suppression of dopamine. It is thought that stimuli are passed via the intercostal dây thần kinh to the posterior column of the tủy sống, to the thân não and then the hypothalamus where dopamine secretion is reduced.34 to đầu chi Hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea có thể result from: 1 mass effect of the pituitary adenoma causing stalk compression 2 excess growth hormone that has a stimulatory effect on prolactin 3 in very hiếm gặp cases, a pituitary adenoma có thể produce both growth hormone and prolactin. thận failure Decreased clearance of prolactin được cho là be the cơ chế. Newborn galactorrhoea High maternal oestrogen levels pass through the placenta, causing development of the foetal breast mô. The cơ chế of goitre development depends on the underlying cause. tuy nhiên, the final thường gặp con đường for most goitres will involve one or more of the sau: 1 nguyên phát TSH stimulation (or TSHR stimulation by an kháng thể in Graves’ bệnh) of tuyến giáp tế bào causing tế bào tăng sản 2 TSH stimulation of tuyến giáp tế bào causing tế bào tăng sản thứ phát to low levels of tuyến giáp hormone through problems with tuyến giáp hormone production or secretion 3 autonomous hyperfunction. Bảng 7.4 summarises the various nguyên nhân của goitres and the relevant Graves’ bệnh tuyến giáp thụ thể kháng thể stimulate TSH thụ thể on the tuyến giáp gland, causing tế bào tăng sản and tuyến giáp gland phì đại Infiltration of miễn dịch tế bào có thể also contribute to enlargement Toxic multinodular goitre Autonomous hyperfunction. Goitres can change from TSH-dependent tăng sản to autonomous hyperfunction. Oxygen reactive species and other processes có thể precipitate gen mutations, leading to mạn tính activation of the Gs andor other proteins, which causes mạn tính proliferation of tuyến giáp cells2,38 Single toxic adenoma Autonomous hyperfunction as described above Iodine deficiency In iodine deficiency, the cause of the goitre is still TSH hơn- stimulation and tế bào tăng sản but it is thứ phát to impaired hormone synthesis. An iodine level of dưới 0.01 mg (10 µg) per day impedes tuyến giáp hormone synthesis. In response to low levels of tuyến giáp hormones, more TSH is produced and secreted via feedback cơ chế, causing tế bào tăng sản Iodine excess Excess iodine can block the secretion of tuyến giáp hormones, leading to low levels and a compensatory rise in TSH, and do đó TSH-related tế bào hyperplasia39 Congenital rối loạn Defects in hormone synthesis dẫn đến a compensatory rise in TSH and, do đó, TSH-stimulated tế bào tăng sản Adenomatous Mutations in the TSH con đường, most thường the TSH thụ thể and Gs unit, dẫn đến excess cAMP and the production of a few ‘highly growth-prone tế bào’ that, when stimulated by TSH, grow exponentially hơn the homogenous surrounding mô, producing an adenoma40 Goitrogens (e.g. cabbage, turnips, lithium, sulfonylureas) Block secretion of tuyến giáp hormone39 Hypothyroid euthyroid goitres Hashimoto thyroiditis thứ phát rises in TSH and lymphocytic invasion are responsible for goitre formation in Hashimoto’s bệnh. In Hashimoto thyroiditis, lymphocytes are sensitised to the tuyến giáp gland and destroy bình thường architecture. This destruction in the gland causes a drop in T3 and T4, and a compensatory rise in TSH, which causes goitre development through tế bào tăng sản. Heavy lymphocytic infiltration also adds to the formation of the goitre Granuloma annulare 525 Granuloma annulare The cơ chế behind the development of connective mô surrounded by viêm infiltrate is not clear. 1 nguyên phát thoái hóa of connective mô initiating granulomatous viêm 2 lymphocyte-mediated miễn dịch reaction leading to macrocyte and cytokine activation and destruction of connective mô 3 a vasculitis or other microangiopathy causing mô injury. Much progress has been made towards identifying specific cơ chế in Graves’ bệnh. Key to the development of many of the signs is immunoreactivity against the thyrotropin thụ thể, bao gồm autoantibodies, and the dysregulation of bình thường orbital fibroblast chức năng by this tự miễn immunoreactivity.49 Through a variety of processes explained below, this dẫn đến mắt cơ swelling and xơ. In Graves’ bệnh anti-tuyến giáp thụ thể kháng thể are produced as part of the bệnh process. These kháng thể that act on the tuyến giáp also affect orbital fibroblasts. When stimulated by tuyến giáp autoantibodies and cytokines, fibroblasts proliferate and produce large amounts of hydrophilic hyaluronan, a loại of glycoaminoglycan that attracts and sequesters fluid. At the same time, a subgroup of fibroblasts differentiates into mature adipocytes. It is these two changes (with associated lymphocytic infiltration) that dẫn đến the enlarged mắt cơ and orbital fat pads seen in bệnh nhân with Graves’ ophthalmopathy. ngoài ra to this, stimulation of insulin-like growth factor thụ thể on orbital fibroblasts dẫn đến the recruitment of more activated T tế bào and miễn dịch tế bào. This further stimulates existing fibroblasts to produce prostaglandin E2 and hyaluronan,1 which accumulates between cơ fibres, making them bigger. Activated miễn dịch tế bào also produce proadipogenic substances that stimulate the maturation of more adipocytes, which expands mô volume even more. With the increase in size of soft mô and cơ involved with the orbit (do the combination of adipocytes, hylauronan and viêm tế bào infiltrates), pressure within the orbital khoang is increased – ultimately affecting the chức năng of the eye. It nên noted that, ngược lại to Graves’ ophthalmopathy, the eye sign of lid lag is a đặc điểm of tuyến giáp overactivity (cường giáp) do increased activity of the levator palpebrae superioris. Summary of eye sign cơ chế There are a large number of eye signs liên quan đến Graves’ bệnh. Some Upper lid retraction The upper eyelid is noticeably retracted, exposing an bất thường amount of the upper sclera. It có thể produce Dalrymple’s sign (described below) Contributing factors bao gồm:49 • Excess tuyến giáp hormone causes increased sympathetic stimulation of the superior tarsal cơ (aka Mueller’s cơ – a sympathetically innervated smooth cơ that assists in elevating the eyelid) • hơn-activation of the levator cơ as it contracts against a tight inferior rectus cơ • Scarring between levator and surrounding mô does not allow for bình thường closure Von Graefe’s sign A dynamic abnormality; as the eye moves down, the eyelid does not follow smoothly but at a slower tỷ lệ, exposing the superior limbus50 The specific cơ chế has not been elucidated. Likely a combination of factors contributing to upper lid retraction (xem above) Lagopthalmos Inability to close the eyes The specific cơ chế chưa được biết rõ. Likely a combination of factors contributing to upper lid retraction (xem above) Abadie’s sign Spasm of the levator palpebrae when retracting the upper eyelid The specific cơ chế chưa được biết rõ. Likely a combination of factors contributing to upper lid retraction (xem above) Dalrymple’s sign Widening of the palpebral fissure A combination of: 1) lồi mắt, making it more difficult for the eyelid to cover all of the eye; and 2) hypertonicityoveractivation of the levator and Mueller’s cơ, resulting in the upper lid retraction and hence widening of the palpebral fissure Retraction of the eyelids on outward stare so that the palpebral opening is abnormally wide Griffith’s sign Lower lid lag on upward gaze Most likely hơn-activitysympathetic stimulation of dây thần kinh supplying the lower eyelid, with or without mechanical restriction of cơ involved in eyelid closure Stellwag’s sign Infrequent and incomplete blinking, thường accompanied by Dalrymple’s sign bình thường blinking is mainly controlled by the obicularis oculi (closing the eye) and levator palpebrae (opening the eye) with Mueller’s cơ to assist in eye widening. Excess stimulation and hơn-activation of Mueller’s cơ and levator palpebrae do high levels of tuyến giáp hormone causes the opening element of blinking to be accentuated Graves’ ophthalmopathy (orbitopathy) 529 Name song thị ’Double vision’ viêm, swelling and cuối cùng xơ of the extraocular cơ do not allow efficient conjugate eye movements, which normally maintain corresponding thị lực objects on the retinas of both eyes Ballet’s sign Restriction of one or more extraocular cơ Lymphocytic invasion, viêm and phù dẫn đến xơ and scarring of the mắt cơ. Restriction of the range of movement then occurs Chemosis Swelling or phù of the conjunctiva tĩnh mạch compression and decreased tĩnh mạch drainage are likely to contribute. viêm tế bào infiltrate có thể also play a role Chemosis is also seen in reactions to allergies and foreign bodies Gaze limitation The bình thường range or field of vision is decreased viêm, swelling and cuối cùng xơ restrict the range of movement and contraction of the extraocular cơ. The eyeball cannot move as much and, do đó, vision becomes limited Sight loss Decreased vision tiến triển swelling of surrounding mô raises the orbital bony khoang pressure to a point at which the thị giác dây thần kinh is compressed andor damaged and vision is impaired or lost Periorbital fullness Swelling around the orbit chủ yếu do decreased tĩnh mạch drainage because of tĩnh mạch compression in the orbital space, leading to swelling of veins and capillaries and oedema49 lồi mắt (lồi mắt) Forward displacement of the eyes Swelling of the mắt cơ, fat pads and mô within the bony khoang ‘pushes’ the eyeball forward Riesman’s sign Bruit heard hơn the closed eye with a stethoscope Increased máu flow through the orbit gây ra bởi hyperdynamic state Graves’ orbitopathy 530 Graves’ orbitopathy While there are a number of causes, the thường gặp con đường of most cơ chế resulting in hirsutism is androgen excess. Androgens increase hair follicle size and hair fibre diameter and lengthen the growth giai đoạn. The most thường gặp androgens are testosterone, DHEA-S and androstenedione. Polycystic ovary hội chứng PCOS dẫn đến excess androgen production. How it does this is still under investigation as is the pathogenesis of the hội chứng itself. In bình thường ovaries, luteinising hormone (LH) stimulates theca tế bào to produce androgen precursors and androgens by means of a number of enzymes. In bệnh nhân with PCOS, theca tế bào are simply more efficient at producing androgens.53,54 The excess androgens, in turn, increase hair follicle size and diameter and lengthen the growth giai đoạn. Factors contributing to the increased production of androgens in PCOS bao gồm: • increased tần số of GnRH pulses and, do đó, LH pulses • insulin (increased in PCOS) acts synergistically with LH to increase androgen production • insulin also inhibits sex-binding hormone globulin, which binds to testosterone, thus increasing free or active testosterone. Cushing’s hội chứng The cơ chế is not clear. Excess ACTH has been shown to cause hyperstimulation of the zona fasciculata and zona glomerulosa, producing cortisol and androgens.2 Congenital adrenal tăng sản In the most thường gặp form of congenital adrenal tăng sản, there is a deficiency of the men 21-hydroxylase. This men is essential in the con đường that produces aldosterone and mineralocorticoids from cholesterol. When it is lacking, the con đường is shunted away from the production of mineralocorticoids to the production of androgens. The androgens then act on hair follicles to produce hirsutism. Adrenal tumours A hiếm gặp cause of androgen excess. Some tumours có thể secrete testosterone but most secrete DHEA and DHEA-S and cortisol, which then act on hair follicles as discussed above. In such cases, bệnh nhân có thể là virilised and có thể have nặng hirsutism in terms of the body sites (e.g. chest and back) and area affected.

Ý nghĩa lâm sàng: Nearly 50% of bệnh nhân with angioid streaks have an underlying bệnh so, if present, investigation is warranted. Some studies have shown: • 80–87% of bệnh nhân with pseudoxanthoma elasticum had angioid streaks.13 • 2–15% of bệnh nhân with Paget’s bệnh had angioid streaks.13 • 0–6% of bệnh nhân with haemoglobinopathy will develop them.14 • It is not a valuable sign for to đầu chi. Atrophic testicles 509 Atrophic testicles Although it is a non-specific sign, if testicular teo is present, investigations for other underlying hormonal triệu chứng, signs and causes nên carried out. Ballotable thận 510 Ballotable thận There is little or no evidence on the value of the ballotable thận. In general, they are unlikely to be palpable, so if they are felt investigation is needed. tuy nhiên, a non-ballotable thận by no means excludes pathology in the thận. There is little evidence for the value of examining for a positive Chvostek’s sign. Nonetheless, it is accepted as a crude test for hypocalcaemia and neuronal excitability. It is suggested that the specificity of the test is low as lên đến 25% of bệnh nhân with bình thường calcium levels có thể exhibit the sign.2 Cushing body habitus 515 Cushing body habitus • Central obesity is said to be the most thường gặp initial sign, present in hơn 90% of bệnh nhân according to some texts.6 • Other texts suggest tần số between 44% and 93%23 with a LR of 3.0 if present. • Moon facies is seen in 67–100% of bệnh nhân,2 with sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 41% for Cushing’s hội chứng.24 • A buffalo hump có thể also be seen in other tình trạng, bao gồm AIDS and generalised obesity, and is not specific for Cushing’s hội chứng. Omental fat with 11B-HSD1 Central adiposity Central and visceral fat deposition Excess glucocorticoids Increased fat tế bào maturation and altered depositionregulation Increased conversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol đái tháo đường retinopathy is an important sign and phải be monitored. The greater the extent of retinopathy at chẩn đoán, the higher the nguy cơ of tiến triển; this reinforces the importance of tight máu glucose control in a person with the Galactorrhoea in any man, and in a non-breastfeeding woman, warrants some attention. It is a non-specific sign that, if present, requires a thorough history and thăm khám in an attempt to find more localising signs. Some key facts to remember: • Galactorrhoea will occur in a majority of women with prolactinomas but is much Ít gặp in males.2 • 13% of bệnh nhân with to đầu chi có thể display galactorrhoea2 and 10% of bệnh nhân with nguyên phát suy giáp will have high levels of prolactin.35 • dưới 10% of cases of galactorrhoea are gây ra bởi systemic bệnh;36 thuốc-induced, vô căn, sinh lý and tân sản (e.g. prolactinoma) causes are Thường gặp. Goitre 523 Goitre Goitre (regardless of loại) is found in 70–93%41–43 of bệnh nhân with cường giáp. It do đó has relatively good sensitivity. tuy nhiên, lên đến 30% of elderly bệnh nhân have been found to have goitre without underlying tuyến giáp bệnh so it is less valuable as a specific sign10 for hormonal disturbance. A goitre with a focal nodule in the tuyến giáp nên luôn be investigated to exclude tuyến giáp cancer, đặc biệt in the setting of a euthyroid state. Goitre 524 Bảng 7.4 cơ chế of goitre development Hyperthyroid goitres Limited evidence exists on the true value of the sign. Historically, granuloma annulare has been liên quan đến loại 1 đái tháo đường and the degree to which it is related reviewed multiple times, without a definite link being found. Some of the evidence regarding this is as follows: • Cases have been reported with loại 2 DM.46 • It hiếm khi pre-dates the development of đái tháo đường.46 • In one study of 100 bệnh nhân with granuloma annulare, 21% of bệnh nhân with the generalised bệnh had đái tháo đường.47 • tuy nhiên. another study found a higher tỷ lệ mới mắc of đái tháo đường in localised granuloma.48 Graves’ ophthalmopathy (orbitopathy) 526 Graves’ ophthalmopathy (orbitopathy) Bảng 7.5 Classification of eye changes seen in Graves’ bệnh Class Definition No signs or triệu chứng Only signs (e.g. lid lag, upper lid retraction, stare) Soft mô involvement: periorbital phù, congestionredness of the conjunctiva, chemosis lồi mắt Extraocular involvement: upward gaze limitation, lateral gaze limitation Corneal involvement: keratitis Sight loss: thị giác dây thần kinh involvement Based on Werner SC, J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1969; 29: 782 and 1977; 44: 203; with permission.
