... for the development of this syndrome. Until now, Graves’ disease has only been described in the literature as the probable cause of IIH in 7 patients. This report describes the case of a young girl with Graves’ disease presenting with symptoms of intracranial hypertension (IH). Case Presentation: A 21-month-old girl...

... thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and the role of coexisting Graves’ disease in the clinical course of PTC remain uncertain in children. Case Description: We report on a Japanese girl, whose PTC rapidly grew and metastasized within 4 years. Graves’ disease was diagnosed by the presence of serum TSH receptor...

We propose a diagnostic algorithm for high-risk pregnancies in mothers with current or past hyperthyroidism related to Graves' disease, involving repeated fetal thyroid gland assessments from 20 weeks of gestation onwards and maternal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb...

...Iwona Ben-Skowronek; Jadwiga Sierocinska-Sawa; Leszek Szewczyk; Elzbieta Korobowicz Background: Graves’ disease is the archetype for organ-specific autoimmune disorders. It is very important for our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for progression of autoimmunity. The aim of this study...

...Florentia Kaguelidou; Jean Claude Carel; Juliane Léger Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in children. Antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment is recommended as the initial treatment, leading to a marked improvement in most symptoms within 1 month of treatment initiation...
