ODP590 Combined Orbital Irradiation and Systemic Steroids in the Management of Progressive Thyroid Eye Disease
We present a case of a 62-year-old female with Multinodular Toxic Goiter who later developed Grave's Ophthalmopathy. She had an elevated baseline TRAb with an orbital MRI that showed bilateral proptosis with enlarged bilateral medial and lateral recti and extraocular muscles of the superior com...

description | We present a case of a 62-year-old female with Multinodular Toxic Goiter who later developed Grave's Ophthalmopathy. She had an elevated baseline TRAb with an orbital MRI that showed bilateral proptosis with enlarged bilateral medial and lateral recti and extraocular muscles of the superior complex. She was initially treated with oral steroids which led to resolution of her visual complaints. However, due to recurrence of an active ophthalmopathy, she was subsequently given pulsing corticosteroid therapy. This was followed by radiotherapy due to minimal improvement in double vision. After completion of treatment, inflammatory ophthalmologic signs and symptoms were significantly improved. Radiotherapy in combination with glucocorticoids, particularly in the presence of diplopia or restriction of extraocular motility, should be considered in the management of active thyroid associated orbitopathy.
