Grundsätzlich scheint die Operation (near total resection) durch die weitgehende Entfernung des thyreoidalen Antigens eher einen günstigen Einfluss auf den Verlauf der endokrinen Orbitopathie zu haben. Die meisten Untersuchungen belegen auch, dass die Radiojodtherapie die endokrine Orbitopathie ungünstig beeinflusst, da es in bis zu einem Drittel der Patienten zu einer Exazerbation oder zum Neuauftreten der endokrinen Orbitopathie kommt. Weitgehender Konsens besteht darüber, die Radiojodtherapie einer immunogenen Hyperthyreose unter Kortisonschutz durchzuführen.

Data are inhomogeneous, because some studies were performed retrospectively, some prospectively, because of different follow up periods and different patient groups. In principal near total resection seems to influence endocrine ophthalmpathy in a positive way, due to the removal of thyroid antigen. Most studies also demonstrate that treatment using radioiodine has a negative influence on ophthalmopathy, because the course of disease is worsening in up to one third of patients. There is also consensus that treatment of Graves’ disease with radioiodine should be performed only by concomitant administration of glucocorticoids.

Diese müssen sich dem Schweregrad der Erkrankung anpassen. Die Objektivierung desselben kann Schwierigkeiten machen, weshalb auf die Bedeutung von entsprechenden Erhebungssystemen, wie zum Beispiel dem Clinical Activity Score, eingegangen wird. Zunächst steht die Sicherstellung einer normalen Schilddrüsenfunktion im Vordergrund. Bei milden Verlaufsformen reichen zusätzliche supportive lokale Maßnahmen. Bei schweren Verlaufsformen ist Kortison in verschiedenen Dosierungen und Applikationsarten das erste Mittel der Wahl. Die Ansprechrate der per os-Therapie liegt international bei ca. 63 %, jene der intravenösen hochdosierten Bolustherapie bei ca. 77 %. Als Alternative bzw. zur Kombination steht das ebenfalls nebenwirkungsreiche Immunsuppressivum Cyclosporin zur Verfügung. Die Kombination mit Kortison scheint nach übereinstimmenden Berichten der Kortison-Monotherapie überlegen. Eine weitere Alternative mit hochdosiertem, intravenös verabreichten Immunglobulinen ist zwar nebenwirkungsärmer bei gleicher Erfolgsrate wie die per os-Kortisontherapie, birgt aber die Infektionsgefahr aller Plasmaderivate in sich und ist außerdem extrem teuer.

Radiotherapy, surgery and ablative therapy of thyroid ophtalmopathy are discussed elsewhere in this issue of Acta Med Austriaca. All forms of therapy have to be adjusted to the severeness of the eye disease. The assessment of the severeness of this ailment can be difficult. Therefore, the impact of scoring systems like the “Clinical Activity Score” is pointed out. Treatment of thyroid dysfunction is the widely accepted first therapeutic measure. Additional supportive local therapy is usually sufficient in patients with only mild activity of endocrine ophtalmopathy. Glucocorticoids applied via different routes in various dose regimens are the therapy of first choice in (moderately) severe forms of the disease. Reported response rates for the oral form of therapy are about 63 %, for the intravenously applied very high doses (given only in very severe forms of the disease) nearly 77 %.
