La fisiopatología del exoftalmos endocrino ha ido evolucionando a lo largo del tiempo. En primer lugar fue necesario que los trabajos originales de Graves y de Basedow asociaran la alteración ocular con la disfunción tiroidea. Estudios complementarios demostraron que el exoftalmos también se puede observar en pacientes con Tiroiditis de Hashimoto. Estudios posteriores han demostrado la presencia de una sustancia o factor al que denominaron Factor exoftalmizante en el suero de pacientes. La demostración experimental de que se podía producir exoftalmos por un mecanismo autoinmune y la demostración de la presencia de un estimulador tiroideo de acción prolongada (LATS) llevó al concepto actual acerca de la participación de un mecanismo inmunológico en la fisipatología de esta afección.
The pathophysiology of endocrine exophthalmos has changed with the advances of Medicine. Described for the first time associated with hyperthyroidism by Graves and von Basedow, further studies demonstrated that it also may occur in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. It is caused by the increase of retro ocular tissue volume. An exophthalmos producing substance (EPS) was found in the serum of those patients. The experimental demonstration that exophthalmos may be prduced by an autoimmune mechanism, and the finding that a circulating immunoglobulin, the Long Acting Thyroid Stimulator (LATS) is the cause of Graves disease, led to the present concept on the pathogrenesis of this disease The authors do not have conflicts of interest.
