甲状腺相关眼病是一种器官特异性自身免疫性疾病，其发病机制复杂，是成人最常见的眼眶疾病，且发病率逐年升高。该病不仅会导致眼球突出、眼睑退缩、睑裂扩大、眼球运动障碍等外观上的变化，且患者往往伴发眼红、眼痛、干涩、异物感、复视、视力下降等不适症状，其中眼表疾病的发病率较正常人明显增高，但其具体发病机制尚待进一步挖掘。目前研究表明甲状腺相关眼病患者的眼表损伤主要与眼表暴露增加、炎症侵犯、激素改变有关。角膜、结膜、泪膜、睑板腺等组织受累发生病理改变是患者表现出不同临床症状的直接原因。文章通过分析近年来国内外关于甲状腺相关眼病与眼表疾病等方面的相关研究，针对甲状腺相关眼病眼表损伤的病理改变及机制研究进展做一综述。
Tyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is an organ-specifc autoimmune disease with complex pathogenesis. It is the most common orbital disease in adults, and its incidence increases year by year. Tis disease can not only lead to appearance changes such as eyeball protrusion, eyelid retraction, eyelid cleat enlargement, eye movement disorders, and patients are ofen accompanied by red eyes, eye pain, dryness, foreign body sensation, diplopia, vision loss and other uncomfortable symptoms, among which the incidence of ocular surface diseases is signifcantly higher than that of normal people, but its specifc pathogenesis needs to be further explored. Current studies have shown that ocular surface injury in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is mainly related to increased ocular surface exposure, infammatory invasion, and hormonal changes. Te pathological changes of cornea, conjunctiva, tear flm, meibomian gland and other tissues involved are the direct causes of different clinical symptoms of patients. In this paper, through the analysis of recent domestic and foreign studies on thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and ocular surface diseases, the pathological changes and mechanism of ocular surface injury in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy were reviewed.
一名47岁男性患者因双眼复视、左眼上斜2个月就诊。既往Graves病半年。门诊检查发现双眼眼球突出、左眼上斜视、左眼下转受限，遂以“甲状腺相关眼病”收入院。入院后发现患者双眼复视、左眼上斜视呈晨轻暮重的特点，结合患者眼眶MRI结果考虑眼肌型重症肌无力，进行眼肌型重症肌无力相关检查，新斯的明试验(+)、乙酰胆碱受体抗体(+)，确诊为甲状腺相关眼病合并眼肌型重症肌无力，予溴吡斯的明联合小剂量激素治疗。治疗4个月后双眼眼位正常，双眼眼球运动正常，复视消失。
A 47-year-old man presented with binocular diplopia and hypertropia of left eye for 2 months. He was diagnosed with Graves’ disease for half a year. The patient was protruding in both eyes with hypertropia and limited of infraduction in left eye. Therefore, the patient was admitted to our ophthalmology department with the diagnosis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. After admitting to hospital, binocular diplopia and left eye hypertropia grew worse by the end of the day or after exertion, and improved in the morning of the day or upon rest. Combining with the orbital MRI results, the patient was considered with ocular myasthenia gravis. The related examination of ocular myasthenia gravis was performed. The following test results were: neostigmine test (+), acetylcholine receptor antibody (+). Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy combined with ocular myasthenia gravis. The patient had marked improvement after treatment with pyridostigmine and oral glucocorticoid.
