Background and Purpose: Evidence suggests that elevated thyroid function and elevated levels of thyroid autoantibodies are associated with risk of Moyamoya disease (MMD). Therefore we performed a meta-analysis of all available evidence, including unpublished data from our own center, in order to assess this association. Methods: We reviewed the English- and Chinese-language literature in major databases to identify studies examining the association between MMD and thyroid function or thyroid autoantibodies. We combined these data with those from our own prospective study conducted in our hospital. Results: In our center, 28 patients with MMD and 28 age-matched control patients with non-MMD stroke were included. Based on our literature searches, we identified two studies for inclusion in our meta-analysis, to which we added our own prospective study described above. Data from our hospital study indicated an association between risk of MMD and elevated thyroid autoantibodies (OR 9.00, 95% CI 1.03 to 78.94), but not between risk of MMD and elevated thyroid function (OR 5.87, 95% CI 0.64 to 53.93). Meta-analysis of our data with findings from the literature further supported the association with elevated thyroid autoantibodies (OR 8.77, 95% CI 4.45 to 17.29) and also indicated an association with elevated thyroid function (OR 9.74, 95% CI 2.18 to 43.49). Conclusions: Evidence strongly suggests that elevated thyroid autoantibodies and elevated thyroid function are independently associated with MMD. These clinical variables may require regular monitoring in patients with MMD.

Abstract. During a 4 year period 19 women with post-partum onset of thyroid dysfunction have been seen in our clinic. Five women had high radioiodine uptake thyrotoxicosis (Graves' disease). Twelve women had hypothyroid symptoms starting within 3–6 months of delivery. All of these women had thyroid microsomal and/or cytoplasmic autoantibodies and thyroid lymphocytic infiltration suggesting aggravation of pre-existing subclinical autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease). At follow-up thyroid function gradually improved in all but signs of persistent thyroid hypofunction remained in seven. Thus women developing symptomatic postpartum hypothyroidism should be followed regularly and when thyroxine treatment is commenced in the post-partum period, it has to be continued indefinitely in many cases. Two women presented with transient low radioiodine uptake thyrotoxicosis and a small painless goitre. Thyroid cytology revealed thyroiditis but they had no thyroid autoantibodies. When followed after a succeeding delivery none of these women developed post-partum thyroid dysfunction in contrast to women in the autoimmune group. Probably the aetiology of thyroid dysfunction in these 2 women was different.
