RESUMO

Los transportadores de monocarboxilatos (MCT) permiten el ingreso celular de hormonas tiroideas, especialmente en el sistema nervioso central (SNC), donde son indispensables para el neurodesarrollo. La deficiencia de MCT8 produce la combinación de hipotiroidismo en SNC e hipertiroidismo periférico, caracterizada por T3 elevada. El único tratamiento actualmente disponible es el ácido 3,3',5-triyodotiroacético (TRIAC), un análogo de hormonas tiroideas que tiene como objetivo mejorar la tirotoxicosis periférica y prevenir la progresión del deterioro neurológico. En el presente artículo, se evalúan las características clínicas, imagenológicas, bioquímicas y genéticas de 4 pacientes con deficiencia de MCT8 tratados con TRIAC hasta la fecha, las dosis utilizadas y la respuesta al tratamiento.


Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) allow the cellular entry of thyroid hormones, especially into the central nervous system (CNS), where they are crucial for neurodevelopment. MCT8 deficiency results in the combination of hypothyroidism in the CNS and peripheral hyperthyroidism, characterized by elevated T3 levels. The only treatment currently available is 3,3',5-triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC), a thyroid hormone analogue aimed at improving peripheral thyrotoxicosis and preventing the progression of neurological impairment. Here we assess the clinical, imaging, biochemical, and genetic characteristics of 4 patients with MCT8 deficiency who have received TRIAC to date, the doses used, and the response to treatment.

RESUMO

El cáncer papilar de tiroides es el tumor tiroideo más común en la infancia. En estadios avanzados, puede presentarse con cuadro de insuficiencia respiratoria. El tratamiento de elección es la tiroidectomía total y iodo radiactivo. En tumores irresecables, se debería considerar terapia con inhibidores multicinasa.Niña de 10 años de edad derivada por insuficiencia respiratoria progresiva. Se realizó el diagnóstico de cáncer papilar de tiroides con metástasis pulmonares. Por presentar un tumor irresecable no pasible de cirugía, se indicó el uso compasivo de lenvatinib, que mostró una rápida y favorable respuesta clínica con resolución de la insuficiencia respiratoria al noveno día del tratamiento.El diagnóstico temprano de cáncer papilar de tiroides previene la grave morbilidad respiratoria ocasionada por diagnósticos tardíos. Podría considerarse el uso de lenvatinib como alternativa previa a las terapias de primera línea (cirugía e iodo radiactivo) en casos de enfermedad con gran compromiso local y a distancia.


Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common thyroid tumor in childhood. In advanced stages, it can present with respiratory failure. The treatment of choice is total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine. In cases of unresectable tumors, therapy with multikinase inhibitors should be considered. A 10-year-old girl was referred for progressive respiratory failure. A diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer with pulmonary metastases was made. Due to the presence of an unresectable tumor not subject to surgery, the compassionate use of lenvatinib was indicated, showing a rapid and favorable clinical response with resolution of respiratory failure on the ninth day.Early diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer prevents severe respiratory morbidity caused by late diagnoses. The use of lenvatinib should be considered as a previous step towards first-line therapies (surgery and radioactive iodine) in cases with great local and distant involvement.

RESUMO

El hipotiroidismo por tiroiditis de Hashimoto es la causa más frecuente de disfunción tiroidea en niños.Nuestro objetivo fue analizar el impacto en la talla final según la talla y el estadio puberal al momento del diagnóstico en menores de 18 años con hipotiroidismo grave de origen autoinmune. De los 79 pacientes, el 78,5 % fueron mujeres. Los que presentaron bocio (el 56 %) mostraron mejor talla en el diagnóstico que los que no lo tenían (puntaje de desvío estándar de media de talla: 0,2 vs. -2,42; p < 0,0001). Cinco niñas (el 6,3 %) presentaron pubertad precoz. De los pacientes con talla final (n: 33), dentro de los que presentaron talla baja al momento del diagnóstico, los púberes tuvieron una talla final significativamente menor que los prepúberes (puntaje de desvío estándar media: -2,82 vs. -1,52; p = 0,0311).El diagnóstico tardío de hipotiroidismo grave en pediatría tiene un impacto negativo en la talla final, especialmente, en los pacientes puberales al momento del diagnóstico.


Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common reason for thyroid dysfunction in children. Our objective was to analyze its impact on final stature in relation to height and pubertal stage at the time of diagnosis in children younger than 18 years with severe autoimmune hypothyroidism. Out of 79 patients, 78.5 % were girls. Those with goiter (56 %) had a better height at diagnosis than those without goiter (mean standard deviation score for height: 0.2 versus −2.42; p < 0.0001). Five girls (6.3 %) had precocious puberty. When considering the final stature of patients (n: 33), among those with short stature at the time of diagnosis, pubertal children had a significantly shorter final stature than prepubertal children (mean standard deviation score for height: −2.82 versus −1.52; p = 0.0311). The late diagnosis of severe hypothyroidism in pediatrics has a negative impact on final stature, especially in those who were pubertal patients at the time of diagnosis

RESUMO

La hipokalemia aguda es una causa poco frecuente de debilidad muscular. La parálisis periódica tirotóxica es una complicación infrecuente de la tirotoxicosis, en sus diferentes etiologías, en la cual se produce hipokalemia por un flujo masivo de potasio al compartimiento intracelular, que provoca parálisis muscular, que afecta, principalmente, la musculatura proximal de los miembros inferiores. Es importante reconocer esta entidad para instaurar un tratamiento adecuado que incluya el rápido suplemento de potasio y el uso de beta-bloqueantes no selectivos. El tratamiento del hipertiroidismo subyacente y el retorno al estado eutiroideo es imprescindible para la resolución de los episodios de parálisis periódica tirotóxica. Aquí se presenta a un paciente de 13 años de edad con síndrome de Down que consultó por debilidad muscular de los miembros inferiores y trastorno de la marcha, asociada a hipokalemia aguda, en el que se realizó el diagnóstico de hipertiroidismo por enfermedad de Graves.


Acute hypokalemic paralysis is a rare cause of acute weakness. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is an unusual complication of hyperthyroidism. It is characterized by sudden onset of hypokalemia condition resulting from a shift of potassium into cells and paralysis that primarily affects the lower extremities. Failure to recognize TPP may lead to improper management. Treatment of TPP includes replacing potassium rapidly, using nonselective beta-blockers and correcting the underlying hyperthyroidism as soon as possible. TPP is curable once euthyroid state is achieved. We describe a 13-year-old male with Down syndrome who presented with acute onset of lower extremity weakness secondary to acute hypokalemia and was found to have new onset Graves' disease.

RESUMO

Las malformaciones nefrourológicas en el síndrome de Turner son frecuentes, por lo que su diagnóstico y seguimiento son importantes para disminuir la morbilidad de esta entidad. El objetivo de este trabajo retrospectivo fue analizar la patología nefrourológica en 72 niñas con síndrome de Turner atendidas entre 1989 y 2008 en el Hospital Garrahan. La prevalencia de patología nefrourológica fue del 33% (24 pacientes). Predominaron las anomalías del sistema urinario aisladas (10 pacientes, 42%) o asociadas a malformaciones renales (9 pacientes, 37%); 5 pacientes (21%) tuvieron anomalías estructurales renales aisladas. El 50% presentó complicaciones (8 infección urinaria, 2 proteinuria y 2 hipertensión arterial).

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the nephrourologic pathologyin 72 girls with Turner syndrome followed between 1989 and 2008 at Garrahan Hospital. The prevalence of nephrourologic involvement was 33% (24 patients). The most frequent findings were urinary system malformations, isolated (10 pacientes,42%) or associated with renal malformations (9 patients, 37%); 5 patients (21%) had only renal malformations. Fifty percent of patients developed complications (8 urinary tractinfection, 2 proteinuria and 2 arterial hypertension); however, none progressed to chronic renal failure. The prevalence of nephrourologic involvement was 33% and a half of these girls developed complications, our findings show the need of routine nephrological follow-up of girls with Turner syndrome and nephrourologic malformations.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Patients with TSH-beta subunit defects and congenital hypothyroidism are missed by TSH-based neonatal screening. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to report the molecular consequences of a novel splice-junction mutation and a novel missense mutation in the TSH-beta subunit gene found in two patients with congenital central hypothyroidism and conventional treatment-resistant anemia. RESULTS: Patient 1 had a homozygous G to A nucleotide change at the 5' donor splice site of exon/intron 2. This resulted in a silent change at codon 34 of the mature protein. In vitro splicing assays showed that the mutant minigene dramatically affected pre-mRNA processing, causing exon 2 to be completely skipped. The putative product from a new out-of-frame translational start point in exon 3 is expected to yield a nonsense 25-amino-acid peptide. In patient 2, sequence analysis revealed a compound heterozygosis for the already reported 313delT (C105Vfs114X) mutation and for a second novel mutation in exon 3, substituting G for A at cDNA nucleotide position 323, resulting in a C88Y change. This cysteine residue is conserved among all dimeric pituitary and placental glycoprotein hormone-beta subunits. Data from in silico analysis confirmed that the C88Y mutation would affect subunit conformation. Indeed, two different bioinformatics approaches, PolyPhen and SIFT analysis, predicted C88Y to be a damaging substitution. CONCLUSIONS: In isolated TSH deficiency, the exact molecular diagnosis is mandatory for diagnosis of isolated pituitary deficiency, delineation of prognosis, and genetic counseling. Moreover, diagnosis of central hypothyroidism should be considered in the face of severe infant anemia of uncertain etiology.
