Patients with thyroid disease (thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism and thyroiditis) can manifest different eye symptoms and signs: proptosis of eyeball, lid retraction, corneal, extraocular muscles and optic nerve damage. The clinical features of Graves’ ophthalmopathy may be one of the most common manifestations of Graves’ disease. Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is an autoimmune inflammatory orbital disease linked to autoimmune hyperthyroidism and rarely be seen in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or in euthyroid patients. GO affects females six times more frequently than males (86% females and 14% males), in severe forms of Graves’ ophthalmopathy the female: male ratio may be reduced to 4:1.
Recent epidemiological data about the incidence of Graves’ disease during children and adolescence are limited, thus the information about its clinical picture is less well established in children in comparison with adults. The onset of the Graves’ ophthalmopathy and hyperthyroidism develop simultaneously in most cases but ocular changes may precedeor follow hyperthyroidism.
