  • Title: [The special case. Thyrogenic acropachy].
    Author: Gossmann HH, Hillger H.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1989; 48(3):152-7. PubMed ID: 2781876.
    Abstract:
    Thyroid acropachy is a typical, though rare complication, of Graves' disease. It is seen in about 1% patients, often after a course of several years. It may occur while the patient is euthyroid, hyper- or hypothyroid. In most cases it is part of a syndrome including exophthalmos and pretibial myxedema. We describe the course of a patient's disease and discuss the criteria of diagnosis as well as the possible pathogenetic role of antithyroid immunoglobulins in thyroid acropachy.
