Systemic management of dysthyroid ophthalmopathy

Surgical management of strabismus for dysthyroid ophthalmopathy.

BACKGROUND The study reports our 8-year experience in the surgical treatment of restrictive myopathy resulting from dysthyroid ophthalmopathy. We tried to determine the factors that contributed to favorable surgical outcomes. METHODS The charts of patients who had surgical treatment for strabismus related to dysthyroid ophthalmopathy at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between January 1995 and De...

Treatment of dysthyroid ophthalmopathy with local guanethidine.

[Evaluation of extraocular muscle enlargement in dysthyroid ophthalmopathy].

PURPOSE To evaluate the extraocular muscle enlargement in dysthyroid opthalmopathy. METHOD Extraocular muscle enlargement was assessed by orbital computed tomography (CT) in 573 patients with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy in order to investigate the frequency and exact location of extraocular muscle enlargement and the clinical features of related ocular symptoms in patients with dysthyroid ophth...

A cyclic vertical deviation with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy: a case report

BACKGROUND Cyclic strabismus is a very rare condition of ocular motility characterized by alternating strabismus and orthotropia. We report a patient with a 48-h cycle of vertical deviation associated with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy that spontaneously resolved.

Neuroanatomic Variations in Graves' Dysthyroid Ophthalmopathy as Studied With MRI.

PURPOSE To evaluate whether patients with Graves' dysthyroid ophthalmopathy (GDO) have changes in brain anatomy that can be assessed by neuroimaging as compared to age-matched controls. METHODS We examined 10 female, euthyroid patients with GDO and 14 age and gender matched controls using high-resolution structural MRI scanning. An automatic cortical segmentation algorithm was used to estimat...
