Prevention of Graves’ ophthalmopathy
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012Smoking is the most important risk factor for the occurrence/progression of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), as well as for its lower/slower response to immunosuppression. Accordingly, refrain from smoking should be urged, both as primary prevention (removal of risk factors in Graves' patients without GO), secondary prevention (early detection and ...

Minimal thyroid ophthalmopathy
Neurology, 1987We studied six patients with the clinical, sonographic, CT, and biochemical profile of minimal euthyroid Graves' disease (MEGD). This syndrome was characterized clinically by small but obtrusive and measurable amounts of diplopia related to endocrine ophthalmopathy and the conspicuous absence of systemic or laboratory signs of thyrotoxicosis ...

Graves' ophthalmopathy usually occurs in association with hyperthyroidism. Its occasional occurrence in the absence of thyroid disease suggests, however, that it may be a separate autoimmune disorder. While the evidence supporting an autoimmune pathogenesis is considerable for the ophthalmopathy, it is not so impressive as that for Graves ...

Ophthalmodynamometry and ischemic ophthalmopathy
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2008To report on the clinical application of a modified ophthalmodynamometer for the detection of ischemic ophthalmopathy.A 70-year-old patient showed unilateral loss of vision to 1/20, thin retinal arteries, tiny intraretinal hemorrhages, and iris neovascularization. We performed a modified ophthalmodynamometry using a Goldmann contact lens in the holding

Ciclosporine and Graves’ Ophthalmopathy
Hormone Research, 2008The pharmacological treatment of Graves’ ophthalmopathy remains unsatisfactory due to the limited efficacy and severe side effects of the available drugs. Ciclosporine, an immunosuppressive drug has recently been used with the aim of controlling the autoimmune process considered to be responsible for the disease.

Inducing Graves’ ophthalmopathy
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2004The majority of patients with Graves' disease (GD) have some degree of ocular involvement and this requires surgical or medical intervention in about 5% of cases. There are autoimmune and inflammatory processes operating in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), which together induce glycosaminoglycan production, edema and adipogenesis resulting in an increase ...

Dysthyroid Ophthalmopathy in Children
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1979The observation in this study of 33 pediatric patients with thyroid disfunction supports the view that ocular changes are uncommon in this age group. If ophthalmopathy does occur, it is mild. No patient was found to have clinical myopathy, corneal involvement, or visual loss.

Ophthalmopathy of Graves' Disease
New England Journal of Medicine, 1983Soft-tissue swelling that would be innocuous in many locations has serious effects where local anatomy confines the swelling tissues within an inexpansible space. The anterior-tibial-compartment and carpal-tunnel syndromes are good examples of such conditions. The severe ophthalmopathy of Graves' disease is another.
