The role of pain in Graves' orbitopathy: Associations with clinical activity and quality of life
Abstract Purpose Pain is included in the clinical activity score (CAS) as an indicator of inflammatory activity in Graves' orbitopathy (GO), yet its clinical relevance has not been systematically evaluated. We therefore investigated the relationship between pain, other inflammatory signs and quality of life (QoL), and assessed the effect of intravenous

Isolated primary amyloidosis of the inferior rectus muscle mimicking Graves’ orbitopathy
The diagnosis of Graves’ orbitopathy is usually straightforward. However, orbital diseases that mimick some clinical signs of Graves’ orbitopathy may cause diagnostic confusion, particularly when associated to some form of thyroid dysfunction.

Diagnostic Options in Graves' or Non‐Graves' Thyrotoxicosis: A Review for Clinical Practice
ABSTRACT Objective Distinguishing Graves' disease (GD) from the other causes of thyrotoxicosis is essential for appropriate management. The clinical phenotype of GD has evolved over time and is currently more heterogenous and milder than in the past. Consequently, the differential diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis is often challenging.
