Abstract
Introduction: Pituitary microadenomas are said to be common, with an incidence of 27%. Hypothyroidism causing periorbital oedema (PO) remains rare in the literature, but it is still within the etiological factors.
Patient concerns: This study presents a 53-year-old patient who presented with PO and visited the dental clinic to exclude dental infection.
Diagnosis: Based on the evaluation of proper haematological and radiological investigations, pituitary microadenoma was identified with an abrupt increase in the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level.
Followup: The patient was followed with further studies to identify the primary cause of PO. It was concluded that the disruption in the drug regimen caused an increase in the TSH and led to PO rather than microadenoma.
简介垂体微腺瘤据说很常见，发病率为27%。甲状腺功能减退症导致眶周水肿（PO）在文献中仍然罕见，但仍属于致病因素：诊断：根据适当的血液学和放射学检查评估，确定为垂体微腺瘤，促甲状腺激素（TSH）水平突然升高：随访：对患者进行了进一步检查，以确定 PO 的主要病因。结论是药物治疗方案的中断导致促甲状腺激素（TSH）水平升高，从而引发了 PO，而不是微腺瘤。
