Q. 1 Supplement
Solution:
1. Monofilaments (Diabetes)
8. Secondary hyperparathyroidism. (a) Radiograph of ectopic calcification. (b) Computerised tomography scan showing ectopic calcification in the chest wall. (Parathyroid)
9. 99mTc-sestamibi scan of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to a parathyroid adenoma. (Parathyroid)
A. After 1 hour, there is uptake in the thyroid gland (thick arrow) and the enlarged left inferior parathyroid gland (thin arrow).
B. After 3 hours, uptake is evident only in the parathyroid.
10 A. Ophthalmopathy in Graves' disease; lid retraction, periorbital edema, conjunctival injection, and proptosis are marked. B. Thyroid dermopathy over the lateral aspects
of the shins. C. Thyroid acropachy. (Hyperthyroid)
11 Lid retraction and proptosis in a patient with thyrotoxic Graves' disease. In this patient there had been a 6-month history, of effortless weight loss, tremulousness,
shortness of breath on exertion and palpitations.
12.Myxoedema. Note the bloated look, the pouting lips and the dull expression (Hypothyroid)
16 Technetium thyroid scan showing a 'cold' nodule that does not take up isotope expanding the left thyroid lobe. (Grave)
19 Thyroid dermopathy (pretibial myxoedema). It is usually symmetrical and minor degrees are not uncommon but are easily missed. The earliest stage is a shiny red
plaque of thickened skin with coarse hair, which may be cyanotic when cold. In severe cases the skin of the whole leg below the knee is involved, together with that of the
foot and the ankle, and there may be clubbing of the fingers and toes. (Grave)(20)
20 Prognathism in acromegaly (Pituriy)
23 The hands in pseudohypoparathyroidism. Note the characteristic shortening of the fourth and fifth metacarpals.
