Intractable Exophthalmos in Thyroid Disease
Postgraduate Medicine, 1953The incidence of progressive exophthalmos in cases of thyroid disease and the pathologic changes that initiate the condition are discussed. Results of bilateral orbital decompression in 78 cases are reported, and the technic of the procedure is outlined.

Orbital Decompression for Disfiguring Exophthalmos in Thyroid Orbitopathy
Ophthalmology, 1994Progressive exophthalmos from dysthyroid orbitopathy may result in marked disfigurement. Commonly affecting middle-aged women, it can be a significant social and psychologic handicap. Cosmesis is increasingly recognized as an indication for orbital decompression. Many argue, however, that decompression carries risks of operative complications which are

Visual Field Defects in Exophthalmos Associated with Thyroid Disease
JAMA Ophthalmology, 1955It is not widely recognized that exophthalmos associated with thyroid disease can be accompanied by visual loss due to involvement of the optic nerve. Loss of vision is used by many as an indication for surgical decompression of the orbit in patients with progressive exophthalmos.

The effect of metronidazole on thyroid function and exophthalmos in man
Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental, 1967Abstract The effect of metronidazole (Flagyl), 400 mg. three times daily, on thyroid function and exophthalmos has been studied. There was no significant change in thyroid function as measured by thyroid uptake of radioiodine, thyroidal iodine clearance, absolute iodine uptake (AIU) by the thyroid, serum PBI, triiodothyronine resin uptake, plasma ...

Exophthalmos in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease*
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1980Protrusion of the eyes of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease was compared with that of healthy subjects. The mean values for protrusion in patients with thyrotoxic Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease and in healthy subjects were 16.6 +/- 2.1 mm (mean +/- SD; n = 122), 14.2 +/- 1.8 mm (n = 100), and 13.9 +/- 1.9 mm (n = 558), respectively. The

Correlation between Unilateral Exophthalmos and Thyroid Diseases
Ophthalmologica, 198043 clinically euthyroid patients with unilateral exophthalmos were examined using clinical methods, echography, and computerized tomography. The functioning of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-thyroid axis was investigated by measurements of TSH (before and after stimulation with TRH), thyroid hormones and antithyroglobulin antibodies.

Relationship of Exophthalmos to Disorders of the Thyroid
Archives of Surgery, 1958Analysis of Data on Proptosis (74 Patients) The average period of serial observations is 11 years, the shortest 2, and the longest 20. Changes of 1 mm. are disregarded in using the Luedde or other "ruler" types of exophthalmometers. 1. During the uniform improvement in metabolic status and in appearance of the eyes that occurred during preoperative ...

The management of thyroid exophthalmos
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1990Exophthalmos can be uncomfortable, unsightly and even painful. If severe, it may lead to corneal ulceration and blindness. In adults it occurs most commonly in women aged 20–45 associated with Graves’ disease. We discuss here the management of the condition.
